Verify Your Vendors. Secure Your Network.
A partner's weak security can easily become your vulnerability.
Vendor Security Assessment
A vendor security assessment gives the client a focused view of a supplier’s security posture before access is granted, data is shared, services are renewed, or a critical dependency is accepted. It helps procurement, security, compliance, privacy, and business owners make informed supplier decisions.
What the service covers
Cryptika assesses vendor security using questionnaires, evidence review, interviews, contract requirements, technical control checks, privacy considerations, access scope, service criticality, and remediation actions. The assessment can be tailored to supplier type and risk level.
Why organizations need it
Organizations need this service before onboarding a critical supplier, renewing an outsourced service, allowing access to sensitive systems, approving a cloud or SaaS platform, responding to customer requirements, or investigating supplier-related findings.

FAQ
Can the assessment be lightweight?
Yes. Low-risk suppliers can use a lighter review, while critical suppliers should receive deeper evidence-based assessment.
Does this approve or reject the vendor?
Cryptika provides findings and risk advice. The client makes the final supplier decision.
Can vendors be reassessed later?
Yes. Reassessment can be tied to renewal, incidents, major changes, or risk level.
