What does he need for better protection?
This Venmonster’s umbrella is too small to weather the storm.
The right-sized umbrella will keep them dry! Your vendor needs the right types and amounts of insurance to prevent you from getting financially soaked.
How can they prevent a disaster?
When the lake unfreezes, their tiny float won’t help them stay above water.
Planning for the worst-case scenario is like having an inflatable raft. There is no guarantee you will use it, but having a tested plan on hand is important.
How can you help them focus?
Too much coffee and an unfocused business continuity vision make this vendor jittery.
You can ensure your business continuity and disaster recovery needs are addressed by providing the vendor with clear requirements for their plans. Don’t forget to require the vendor to disclose any critical fourth or nth parties.
The vendor can learn how to manage their business better by taking classes on different subjects!
No!

What do they need before getting any access to sensitive data?
This Venmonster probably doesn’t have the right security controls in place.
They need an independent third-party audit to verify the existence and sufficiency of their controls. Without one, this vendor needs to remain outside!
How can he keep bad actors out?
Yikes! Everyone knows this Venmonster’s unencrypted passcode!
They need to improve their password and encryption policies and practices to align with appropriate industry standards.
How can they prevent the release of sensitive, confidential, or protected data to an untrusted environment?
This Venmonster is leaking data all over!
The vendor will need to stop the bleeding and ensure they investigate the activity, determine the leak’s source, what data was breached, and notify affected parties. Establishing rigorous information protection protocols, testing, and independent third-party audits can help to avoid future incidents.
