• External Audits / Assessment
• Certifications
• Full Time CISO
• Insurances

External Audits / Assessment

Score the External Audits / Assessment factor according to the impact these documents have over your company. Evaluate documentation, such as pentest, general external audit or application scan completed, in addition to dates and scores.

Certifications

Similar to External Audits / assessment, score the Certifications factor according to the impact these documents have over your company. Evaluate what certifications you have, when they were achieved and overall results.

Full Time CISO

Evaluate the Full Time CISO factor based on the weight and importance for your third party to have a full time CISO.

Insurances

Score the Insurances factor according to how important it is for your evaluation that your third party has an insurance policy.

Questionnaires

Evaluate the Questionnaires factor based on the top scoring answers from completed questionnaires.

Bitsight
