2. Agenda Programs That We See Today • Program definition of risk – often legal, financial, reputational, cyber • More mature assessing financial risk, least mature assessing cyber-risk • Ramping programs/where to start – product, asset or organization centric • Moving from audit related to active risk management Legal Business Risk Security
3. VRA Program Maturity Study * S H A R E D A S S E S S M E N T, 2 0 1 5 , V E N D O R R I S K M A N A G E M E N T S T U D Y Category C - Level VP/Director Level Manager Level Program Governance 2.9 2.8 3.2 Policies, Standards, Procedures 2.8 2.8 3.0 Contracts 2.7 2.8 2.8 Vendor Risk ID and Analysis 2.4 2.7 2.5 Skills and Expertise 1.9 2.1 2.7 Communication and Info Sharing 2.2 2.3 2.6 Tools, Measurements and Analysis 2.0 2.3 2.9 Monitoring and Review 2.6 2.7 2.8
4. Takeaways – Discomfort at C-level Challenges o Understanding risk of cyber-attack o Communicating risk o Resourcing/improving VRA process
5. Understanding Risk o Single framework based approaches focused on security are common o “Check box”, considered in its own silo o Often lacks granularity and context for accurate measurement of vendor risk Security Posture
6. Expanding Context for VRA o Business/compliance context – more comprehensive view o Map controls to business operational impact o Consider hybrid – ex. NIST CSF + HIPAA Business / Compliance Impact Security Posture
7. Expanding Context for VRA o Business/compliance context – more comprehensive view o Map controls to business operational impact o Consider hybrid – ex. NIST CSF + HIPAA o Threat provides focus for controls o Which controls are most important Business / Compliance Impact Security Posture Threat
8. How? Organizational Threat Model o PASTA (process for attack simulation and threat analysis) o Business impact – examine outsourced process o Threat o Identify top threats, map to processes then vendors o Now evaluate security posture o Identify key controls o Identify metrics + sensitivity o Identify remediation opportunities Business / Compliance Impact Security Posture Threat
9. Path to Automation o Ensure controls are commensurate with maturity level of program o Measurable – ensure control activities can be collected and expressed in metrics o Understand the impact of controls on the business o Measure over time Simple Metric Intermediate Value Add Yearly policy review # of security technical standards Demonstrates sustainable governance program # High risk items remediated <30 days % of control gaps remediated Shows a process for addressing security gaps Participation % in awareness training Social engineering ploys foil by employee security awareness Demonstrates successful operationalization of security
