CyberVadis

CyberVadis is a third-party risk management platform that conducts cybersecurity assessments of vendors using a proprietary methodology built on internationally recognized frameworks. The assessment process begins with a qualification questionnaire of 10–15 questions (approximately 10 minutes) that tailors the evaluation to each vendor's specific context, including IT practices, organizational size, and industry. Assessments are structured around four key themes: Identify, Protect, Detect, and React. The methodology maps to major cybersecurity and compliance frameworks including NIST, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and PCI DSS. Upon completion, vendors receive a shareable scorecard outlining cybersecurity practices and potential risk areas. The platform also supports continuous monitoring of vendor cybersecurity posture and provides a collaborative improvement plan for vendor-client engagement. GDPR-specific controls are addressed within the questionnaire, covering areas such as data privacy roles, personal data processing, data breach notification procedures, and employee training on data privacy. The methodology is designed to be consistent and scalable across industries and vendor sizes, enabling organizations to maintain standardized assessments throughout their supply chain.
