Third-party vendor management practices are shifting from annual assessment to regular, real-time evaluation of vendors. Current security assessments are not frequent enough to capture the fluctuating nature of third-party relationships, which leaves vendor security systems out-of-date. But continuous monitoring allows you to assess vendor security regularly to determine if they are meeting security standards.
With a continuous assessment model (supported by the right technology), you can identify vendors that fail to meet security standards, making it easier to prevent data breaches.
