Risk Assessment
Service Description:
Every endeavor at Vanderbilt that involves university systems or data inherently incurs some risk to Vanderbilt – from taking on a new research project to purchasing a new piece of software for everyday work. In cases where the risk is unknown, or sufficiently concerning, the Office of Cybersecurity performs an assessment to quantify the risk and to provide recommendations about how to reduce that risk. These assessments fall into two categories: Third-Party or Internal.
Vendor Risk Assessments should be conducted prior to the procurement of the SaaS, IaaS, or PaaS. Vendor Risk Assessments are available to all university faculty and staff.
Internal Risk Assessments focus on something contained entirely within Vanderbilt’s ecosystem. This could be Vanderbilt-originated software, Vanderbilt-hosted third-party software solutions, or internal work involving sensitive data.
