Does your organization adhere to the incident information sharing rules and protocols defined in supplier contracts?
Explanation
Contractual incident sharing is what's under review, covering whether you adhere to the information-sharing rules and protocols for security incidents set out in your supplier contracts. These protocols typically specify what types of incidents must be reported, timeframes for reporting, communication channels, and confidentiality requirements.
Evidence could include documented incident response procedures that reference supplier notification requirements, communication templates aligned with contractual obligations, incident logs showing timely supplier notifications, or meeting minutes from incident reviews that demonstrate adherence to contractual information sharing requirements.
Implementation Example
Follow the rules and protocols defined in contracts for incident information sharing between the organization and its suppliers
