Securely Enabling Business

Third Party InfoSec Assurance Assessment

Information Security Risk Assessment For Extended Business Relationships

Growing organizations are consistently establishing business partnerships that facilitate cost savings and business enhancement. The creation of new partnerships can also create new risk and potential data compromise. As part of an overall risk management security program — and meeting associated compliance requirements — organizations must start evaluating the security implications of their extended business relationships, Which may include:

  • 3rd parties
  • Subsidiaries
  • Remote locations
  • Mergers/acquisitions

Organizations are also under increasing pressure by federal regulators or internal and external auditors to ensure that extended relationships are managing risk to information in a manner consistent with best practices or specific regulatory requirements. By partnering with our customers, FishNet Security assists organizations by assessing business risks related to the extended enterprise. One partner with poor security, can compromise the integrity of your otherwise sound security program.
