Ensuring Security Across Partnerships

When you work with vendors that handle state systems or data, we’re here to help make sure they do it safely.

Got Questions? We Have Answers!  

Our expert team is here to guide your agency through evaluating vendor security, answering questions, and taking the right steps to reduce risk before it becomes a problem. 

Working with vendors introduces potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could affect your agency. Managing these risks ensures that your data stays safe and that your agency stays compliant.

Note: As of July 1, 2023, a third-party risk assessment is required for all new vendors. Existing vendors are assessed as contracts are renewed. 

We follow a simple yet structured approach to evaluate vendor risk and provide guidance:

  • Review vendor security practices.
  • Assess risk based on data sensitivity.
  • Advise your agency on next steps.
  • Monitor higher-risk vendors. 

Let’s Get You Started!

To schedule your vendor risk assessment, submit a request via the ServiceNow portal. From there, you’ll be asked to complete a simple questionnaire.  

If you have questions along the way, please contact us—we’ll be happy to assist you!
