Advisory & Assurance

Vendor Security Audit

Third-party vendors are essential, but they also extend your attack surface. We assess how well your vendors protect your data and systems.

Overview

Why it matters

Working with third-party vendors is essential for most organizations, and it introduces security risks that need careful management. A weakness in a vendor’s controls can become a weakness in yours.

Our Vendor Security Audit gives you a thorough assessment of your vendors’ security practices. We work with you to understand your vendor landscape and tailor the audit to your requirements.

  1. Security policies and documentation

    Review of each vendor’s security policies, procedures and documentation.

  2. Physical and network security

  3. Technical testing

    Vulnerability scanning, penetration testing and social engineering testing where in scope.

  4. Remediation support

    Working with your vendors to help them address identified weaknesses.
