Supplier Audits

Outsourcing and subcontracting chains are one of the biggest cybersecurity risks, so the security level of suppliers must be assessed systematically. Audits can cover both individual suppliers and the entire partner network’s cybersecurity management. 

Good cybersecurity practice includes that the organization considers outsourcing partners, defines the required cybersecurity measures from them, and ensures that the service received meets the expected and mutually agreed security level of the organization.

Our Services  

In supplier audits, various frameworks can be utilized and they are tailored in scope to suit the organization, for example:  

  • Auditing adapts to the organization’s needs – we use the client’s security agreements or frameworks, such as ISO 27001, and ensure their effective application within the supplier network. 
  • Flexible implementation models – the audit can be carried out independently or together with the client’s experts. 
  • We are an approved entity to conduct Microsoft SSPA assessments (Supplier Security and Privacy Assurance). Microsoft has defined data protection and security requirements for its suppliers if the supplier handles Microsoft’s confidential information or personal data.

Risk management of the supplier network – we help build a systematic and continuously evolving process for monitoring information security levels.
