Abstract
A system and methods for determining the degree to which a vendor, supplier, or company's compliance or lack of compliance with a specific regulation or requirement contributes to, or could contribute to, the cybersecurity risk of an organization whose employees use that company's products or services. This source of risk may be evaluated for a plurality or set of vendors to determine an estimated total risk arising this source or set of sources. In response to evaluating the degree or level of this source of risk, the system and methods can be used to determine or select the apprFinal opriate security process or protocol that should be applied to employees, devices, systems, and networks to limit the risk to the organization.
