Job Description

  • Due Diligence and Onboarding:

    Conducting initial risk assessments on potential new vendors. This involves evaluating their security posture, reviewing their security policies and controls, and ensuring they meet the organizations minimum-security requirements before a contract is signed. This process often includes sending out detailed questionnaires and reviewing certifications like SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
  • Risk Assessment and Analysis:

    A core responsibility is performing comprehensive cybersecurity risk assessments on new and existing third parties and assigning it into a risk category (eg, critical, high, medium, low) based on type of risk they can bring to organization. A vendor handling sensitive customer data would be a high-risk vendor, while an office supply vendor would be low risk.
  • Definition of requirement:

    Once the risk profile is identified, security requirements and contractual clauses need to be defined and applied in partnership with procurement and business stakeholders to include such requirements within the contract or agreement.

A key duty is performing continuous monitoring of third-party vendors to detect changes in their security posture, such as new vulnerabilities, a data breach, or a drop in their security ratings. It can be performed by analyzing third-party assurance reports (eg SOC 2 Type II) and/or with automated tools.
