Shared Assessments launches 2018 Risk Assessment Program Tools

Shared AssessmentsShared Assessments, the trusted source in Third Party risk, today released the latest version of the Program Tools for 2018, which are now available for download via the Members Resources area of the Shared Assessments website.

The Shared Assessments 2018 Program Tools are an important component of the Shared Assessments Third Party Risk Management Framework, and it is the partnership between Shared Assessments and member organisations which creates industry leadership to help meet the surge in regulatory, consumer and business scrutiny within the constant landscape of cyber and other security threats and vulnerabilities posed by the use of Third Party service providers.

A “Trust, but Verify” approach to Third Party Risk

Shared Assessments keeps a close eye on emerging regulations, guidelines and standards for the wide range of industries that our members represent, such as: New York State, Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS) 23 NYCRR 500; European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679; and Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten 2017 Vulnerabilities RC2 Project. That knowledge is used to update the new Program Tools which embody a “Trust, but Verify” approach for conducting third party risk management assessments and use a substantiation-based, standardised, efficient methodology.

To access the latest versions of the Shared Assessments Program Tools 2018, log into the Member Resources section of the Shared Assessments website by clicking on Member Log In at the upper right-hand corner of the home page. There you will find all of the Program Tools and support documents for:

• 2018 Standardised Information Gathering (SIG) questionnaire;
• 2018 Shared Assessments Standardised Control Assessment (SCA) procedures – Formerly the Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP);
• 2018 Vendor Risk Management Maturity Model (VRMMM); and
