🔍 Why is this important for you? 

A third-party cyber security risk assessment evaluates security practices to identify potential vulnerabilities that could pose a threat to an organization. This process involves reviewing the third party's policies, controls, and procedures to ensure they align with industry standards and regulatory requirements. By conducting such assessments, organizations can mitigate risks associated with data breaches, non-compliance, and operational disruptions, thereby safeguarding their sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of their cybersecurity posture.  

The CyberVadis assessment helps streamline due diligence on third-party vendors, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches. In fact, a 2019 IBM and Ponemon Institute study found that 56% of organizations have faced data breaches caused by vendors. 

At Biointron, we are dedicated to protecting our clients’ information through robust security management processes. Our adherence to a certified ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and our successful completion of cybersecurity assessments reflect our unwavering commitment to your security and trust.
