Implementing a security questionnaire helps streamline the evaluation of third-party security posture by assessing all current or potential vendors’ security controls, policies, and procedures. However, the lack of consistency in security questionnaires across industries has created evaluation and comparison inconsistencies. The absence of clear standards also leads to varying interpretations of the questions. Security questionnaires are commonly managed in spreadsheets, but they quickly become unwieldy and difficult to navigate when assessing an entire vendor ecosystem.
At myCYPR we refer to this methodology as “better” since it provides more risk insight than OSINT alone while being practical for large vendor networks. Our Self-Assessment Security Questionnaire (SAQ) allows provides a flexible yet functional questionnaire for better third-party risk insight.
