Procurement timelines pressure security teams to approve vendors quickly, but that can put your business assets and reputation at risk. A vendor’s security failure can become your breach disclosure, regulatory fine, and customer notification. Many evaluate vendor risk after onboarding, when leverage is gone, and switching costs are high.
CBIZ Technology’s vendor due diligence solutions help confirm security claims before you sign any contracts. Our team provides impactful insights that deliver the evidence to negotiate terms, impose requirements, or walk away while you still can.
We assess third-party vendors through cross-cutting security lenses to determine posture and maturity. Our teams examine the supplier’s controls, architecture, incident history, access management protocols, and vulnerability management.
We look beyond vendor claims, thoroughly analyzing actual compliance artifacts, not checkboxes and questionnaires. Our services include evidence-backed verification of certifications, regulatory alignment, and framework adherence.
When supplier availability is crucial to your operations, we help ensure your partners are prepared with disaster recovery and business continuity plans. Our specialists evaluate redundancy, uptime commitments, and incident response capabilities to quantify specific risks a vendor may pose to your organization.
High-value data is often the primary target for an attack, which reinforces the importance of robust protocols to keep it safe. CBIZ Technology analyzes your supplier’s data-handling practices, including subprocessing arrangements, privacy and access controls, and breach notification procedures.
Vendors who access mission-critical business assets need heightened scrutiny, since sensitive assets naturally carry more risk if exposed. Our team uses risk-tiered assessment, so higher-risk suppliers undergo more comprehensive reviews for your peace of mind.
AI-powered tools help our team accurately analyze data faster than manual assessments. This technology also identifies security gaps and patterns that can signal red flags, so we can alert you to them without unnecessarily slowing down procurement.
In many cases, yes. You can use the documentation that CBIZ Technology provides as leverage for more favorable terms or to make a contract contingent upon security posture improvements. Findings can also inform service level agreements, establish security baseline requirements, and define remediation timelines as contract terms.
