The Shortlist — Buying Suppliers and Software Without Bringing In Risk

When you buy software, a service, or a supplier, you bring their security into your business. So treat a purchase as a security decision: ask before you sign, choose who'll protect your data, put it in writing, check they're real, give only the access they need, don't just chase price, and keep it up.

What you'll learn

• See a purchase as a security decision, and ask the security questions before you sign, while you still have the leverage.
• Treat 'will they protect our data' as the question the whole purchase turns on, and get the commitments in writing.
• Check a supplier is genuinely real, and give suppliers only the access and data they need.
• Know why the cheapest isn't the safest, and treat buying safely as ongoing — a light eye on suppliers, and leaving well.
