THIRD PARTY AUDITS

Why is this service required?

Outsourcing processes or data to a Third Party company does not necessarily mean the accountability or legal responsibilities have been transferred. Contracts and Service Level Agreements can prove worthless when the Third Party has a security incident.

The risks can be life threatening to a business whether they are fines, reputational damage, litigation to name a few, caused by the Third Party.

These risks can be mitigated/reduced by conducting security and compliance audits on the Third Party company/Data Processor and ensuring they manage the information in a manner consistent with your policies.
