What does Construction have to do with Third-Party Security?

With cyber security at the height of importance in this day and age, third-party security is a necessity for all industries, even construction.

It can be a challenge to implement a process that thoroughly addresses vendor security risk can be challenging, especially when performed manually.

Andy Black, Head of Compliance & Information Security discusses:

  • How he succeeded in creating an automated, efficient third-party security process
  • Identified gaps in its third-party security risk management process
  • Set goals and requirements for the process, including easy collaboration, speed, cost-effectiveness and cyber risk visibility
  • Transitioned to a mature third-party security process

 

With businesses having to adapt and innovate at speed, cyber-criminal activity rose a whopping 600% in the early months of the pandemic. At Sir Robert McAlpine we have partnered with Panorays to provide central governance to third party risk of Information Security so that we all can raise the bar together.
