Has your organization conducted third-party assessments or independent audits of your cybersecurity program within the past 12 months?

Independent assessments provide an objective evaluation of your cybersecurity program's effectiveness, identifying blind spots that internal teams might miss. These assessments help validate that security controls are functioning as intended and highlight areas requiring improvement before they can be exploited by threat actors. Regular third-party reviews also demonstrate due diligence to stakeholders and may be required for certain compliance frameworks. Evidence could include: A copy of the most recent third-party security assessment report (with sensitive findings redacted if necessary), engagement letters with cybersecurity assessment firms, remediation plans developed in response to audit findings, or certificates of compliance issued by independent auditors.
