Do Your Customers Treat Your Information and Trade Secrets With Care?
Was a cyber security weak spot for the US Department of Defence one of their suppliers?!
Yes, they signed the NDA and had a long standing contract.
But did they have the same processes and culture?
The US government just sued Georgia Tech University for not using anti virus software despite signing US Department of Defence contracts agreeing to comply with security protocols.
The university self assessed its compliance with the security protocols and submitted a winning score of 98 / 110.
But the government said in its case: ‘The score is false and does not reflect a score for any information system used to process, store, or transmit Controlled Defence Information in connection with Defendants’ DoD contracts’.
Apparently, the Georgia Tech researchers found security protocols “burdensome !”
If this is happening with the US government it could be happening with you?
You trust your customers and suppliers but have you really examined their controls and compliance?
Do your customers handle your sensitive information and trade secrets with the same care as you?
I have my doubts – how about you?
