Vendor Risk Management is like doing a health check on the companies you do business with. It helps ensure these companies handle your data safely and follow important security rules, like ISO 27001, TISAX, and SOC 2. It's all about keeping your business and customer information secure.

Think of Vendor Risk Management as a smart way to pick and manage the companies you do business with, which helps you on your journey to being ISO-certified. Here’s how you do it:
1. Identify Vendors: Start by making a list of potential vendors. Look for those with good track records and promising services.
2. Risk Assessment: Check each vendor carefully to figure out how risky they are to work with. Place them into groups like high, medium, or low risk based on how safe they are.
3. Monitor and Evaluate: Keep an eye on your vendors regularly. This means constantly checking how they're doing and if their risk level changes. This helps you stay on top of things and make sure they're still a good fit for your business.
By following these steps, you're building a strong foundation for your business to meet ISO standards, which is all about quality and reliability.
Yes, it's definitely best practice. Every tool or service you use could affect your business's safety. Treat them all as vendors to stay on top of any risks.
If your vendor isn't ISO 27001 certified and you consider them high-risk, one effective step is to send them a security questionnaire. This helps you understand how they manage data and protect against security threats. The questionnaire should cover their security practices and procedures. Based on their responses, you can better evaluate the risks and decide if additional measures are needed or if you should look for another vendor. It's a proactive way to ensure your business stays safe and compliant.
