Ponemon 2022 Study: Data Risk in the Third-Party Ecosystem

In this new report from RiskRecon and the Ponemon Institute, we surveyed over 1,000 IT security professionals to understand how well companies are detecting, mitigating, and minimizing risks associated with third parties and Nth parties.

Leading RiskRecon use cases

Third-Party Risk Management

Organizations now largely entrust third parties with their most sensitive data and operational functions. To help safeguard your digital ecosystem from third-party risk, you need simple, real-time visibility of third-party partners’ cyber performance. Companies lacking this visibility cannot detect potential threats and address them.

Supply Chain Risk

Catastrophic multi-party breach events show that cyber risk can originate in supply chain layers beyond your immediate third parties. However, cybersecurity analysts are less likely to know who those supply chain vendors are, let alone receive rights to audit or risk assess them directly – leaving your organization exposed to a potential backdoor supply chain cyberattack.

Own Enterprise & Subsidiary Monitoring

An organization’s internet surface area is often larger and more complex than it may seem. Without a complete picture of their own risk surface, organizations are severely disadvantaged in the event of a data breach, and face losing both potential and existing business deals, vendors, or partners.

Can I review all vendors in the same fashion?

Different vendors may represent different levels of risk to the organization. Higher risk relationships require more in-depth review while applying that same level of assurance to low-risk vendors would largely be a waste of time. Have a sound methodology in place that applies the appropriate amount of assurance to the inherent risk of the relationship.

Why do I need to do more than send my annual security questionnaire?

As practitioners, if we rely solely on security questionnaires to assess our vendors we are forced to try to determine if our vendor really has good security controls, or if they are simply good at answering questionnaires. That is a tall order. Relying on information from various tools, including questionnaires, provides the most insight into the true operating effectiveness of controls.

How do I assess vendors in an RFP when I do not have enough staff to assess all of the vendors I am already using?

One approach to help combat this challenge is to send each firm in the RFP a short questionnaire based on must-have controls (no more than 15 or so questions). Things like “Do you have a team dedicated to security?” Those will highlight the critical controls. To further help differentiate vendors, using a one-time report from a tool like RiskRecon can provide you with a quick assessment of the external cyber hygiene of an organization. When a vendor is ultimately selected, you can do the full assessment as part of the onboarding process.

If I was going to take my TPRM program to the next level beyond questionnaires, what should I look to add?

Once you have decided that a questionnaire alone is not doing what you need and you want to bring more to your program, the first place many organizations look is to add a continuous monitoring tool, such as RiskRecon. These tools address many of the challenges and limitations of the security questionnaire. Questionnaires are static and point in time, while a continuous monitoring tool can keep an eye on your vendor when you are not doing the reviews. Continuous monitoring tools are also useful to help validate the effectiveness of security controls addressed in the questionnaire.

Products like RiskRecon are outside looking in, can they inform me about the security of my vendor?

While it is true that RiskRecon is limited to seeing only externally visible things, you can learn an awful lot about an organization by seeing the posture they present to the world. In many ways, it is sort of like a house. You will be hard-pressed to find many houses that look like a shack on the outside, but a mansion on the inside. By looking at the externally facing posture, we can learn about how that organization treats security. Do they take patching seriously? Have they bothered to harden systems, or do they have unsafe network services exposed to the internet? So, going back to the house analogy, we can make the fair assumption that in most cases, organizations that look bad on the outside and probably challenged on the inside as well. Large hosting organizations may buck this trend, but for the most part, it holds.
