For years, third-party cybersecurity relationships between vendors and customers have relied on contracts and trust. That model is now showing its age. In the past year alone, 51% of UK organizations have reported a third party-related breach, while vendors have become ideal attack vectors for hostile actors.<\/p>\n

At the same time, cyber attacks grow in their frequency and damage, even when they rely on relatively unsophisticated techniques. It is a clear shift: the way vendors reassure their customers of the strength of their security can no longer rely on words alone.<\/p>\n

Contracts and written assurances do little to protect organizations in practice, and too often, customers are left with limited insight into the real security posture of their vendors.<\/p>\n

In the past few years, we have seen documentation, questionnaires and copious amounts of certifications which has come to overshadow demonstratable robustness. The emphasis has shifted towards ticking boxes, rather than proving strength.<\/p>\n

Instead, we need to move from telling to showing; proof over promise.<\/p>\n
