As global tensions and AI-driven threats accelerate, the "trust but verify" model of the past has been replaced by a "verify then trust" mandate. At the heart of this shift is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC); a framework that has transformed from a roadmap into a non-negotiable requirement for doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD).

In today's interconnected business environment, the relationship between organizations and their third-party vendors is crucial. However, it also introduces a range of risks. Vendor risk refers to the potential vulnerabilities or threats that arise from working with external suppliers, service providers, or partners. These risks can manifest in various forms, including data breaches, financial instability, operational disruptions, or non-compliance with regulations. Once a vendor risk is identified, it's essential to understand the steps that need to be taken to manage and mitigate that risk effectively.
