ISACA Huntsville/IIA Joint Session
Topic: Vendor Management Cybersecurity Operationalization to Reclaim Control 
Speaker: Jeremy Conway, MAD Security

Background: In the normal course of business, organizations increasingly rely on external service providers for a variety of technology-related services. While it may be cost efficient, outsourcing information technology services to an outside vendor does not remove the risk associated with information technology. Risks such as loss of funds, loss of competitive advantage, damaged reputation, improper disclosure of information, and regulatory action remain. Further, by outsourcing the service to an outside vendor, the organization may not be able to exercise the same level of control over the operation, compared to an in-house service provider. This presentation aims to provide guidance and tips on how organizations can reclaim control by operationalizing the cybersecurity components of vendor management. A panacea for vendor management does not exist, however pragmatic solutions do.

Learning Objectives:
  • Describe why the risk management program, and specifically risk assessment lays the foundation building blocks for an effective vendor management program
  • Identify the key components and describe the methodology for quantifying risks within a vendor management program
  • Employ beyond due diligence to construct an operational vendor management program that exceeds regulatory requirements.
  • Implement procedures and processes that ensure vendor management is a win-win situation for everyone.
