Vendor security clauses
One question – the vendor security clauses indicate a bunch of items that need to be included in the vendor agreement. Do you have a template/example of an agreement that I can red-line with all of the relevant clauses included?

Please note that “relevant clauses”, and how they are written, will depend on the context of each organization (i.e., results of risk assessment and applicable legal requirements), so we do not recommend such an approach when developing your own agreements.
In general terms, clauses to be considered would cover:
- Right to audit
- Notification about security breaches
- Adherence to security practices
- Response time to vulnerabilities
- Demonstration of compliance
- Management of supplier’s supply chain risks
- Communication of changes
- Maintenance of service levels
