Answering "YES"

Reason for Question

Understanding the security program size (and capabilities) of a vendor has a significant impact on their ability to respond effectively to a security incident. Vendors will share organizational charts and additional documentation of their security program, if needed. The point of this question is to verify vendor security program maturity or confirm other findings and/or assessments.

Follow-Up Inquiries

Vague responses to this question should be investigated further. Vendors unwilling to share additional supporting documentation decrease the trust established with other responses.
