GV.SC-06 emphasizes the importance of performing thorough planning and due diligence to reduce risks before entering into formal relationships with suppliers or other third parties. Why is this important? Imagine partnering with a vendor who has weak security practices. That connection could become a gateway for cyber threats, putting your entire organization at risk.

For those unfamiliar with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, it’s a set of guidelines designed to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. It’s a widely respected tool used across various industries to build strong and resilient security strategies. 🌐 By conducting proper due diligence before partnering with third parties, you’re not just protecting your organization—you’re also building a stronger, more secure business network. #Cybersecurity #NISTCSF #RiskManagement #ThirdPartyRisk #DueDiligence
