Many organizations handle large amounts of data which must be carefully protected, used, and controlled in accordance with various privacy laws and regulations. Maintaining and monitoring compliance can be an ongoing challenge for information security and privacy teams, especially when the data is handled by third-party vendors.
The key to addressing those challenges is through the broader practice of vendor risk management. Information security and privacy teams play a key role in this practice, so it’s essential to encourage collaboration that will keep your organization compliant and protected from vendor risk.
Privacy and information security professionals share similar goals, but they serve different functions. While privacy teams are concerned about why data is collected and how it’s being used, information security teams are concerned about how to secure that data from internal and external threats. However, when these two teams work together in vendor risk management activities, vendor risks are better managed.

Privacy and information security teams are both essential to vendor risk management and even more effective when they work together for a common purpose. Vendor risks are always changing with new privacy regulations and new cyber threats, but a strong partnership between privacy and information security teams can help organizations stay vigilant and prepared.
