Third-party vendors are incredibly useful. They allow businesses to automate certain processes, like implement payroll services, provide IT cloud services to host financial or client data, manage technology and host your critical business applications. But third-party vendors and partners also have their downsides.

Security breaches attributed to third-party partners increased by 22% since 2015. On average, organizations spent $10 million responding to third-party breaches over the previous 12 months. But organizational risk isn’t limited just to direct revenue loss. Reputational impacts, regulatory exposure and lawsuits can cause lasting damage and lead to job losses for executives, directors and others in the organization.

Taking our extensive experience in the IT security, risk and compliance area plus best business practices, we have created a third-party assessment and program which makes Stealth-ISS the trusted advisor for many Fortune 500 Companies.
