The Vendor Best Practice Excuse


When vendors suggest unsafe things and say it’s best practice, I have two questions to ask.




“How many any other organizations allow you to do that?”


“Why do you think that can be done here?”


Outsourcing business processes doesn’t mean outsourcing risk. 


Plaintext passwords.

Over-privileged access.

Poor data handling.


These aren’t best practices anywhere.

Just excuses for poor practice. 

Your organization's customers won't care about the vendor.


The breach will still be yours to own
