Practical third-party risk guidance

Written by the TerraSecure security team from real vendor assessment work.

Tiering vendors by inherent risk

Why data sensitivity, system access and operational criticality should decide assessment depth — and how to defend the tiering to an auditor.

Designing questionnaires that produce decisions

Weighting, critical questions, conditional follow-ups and evidence requirements that turn answers into a defensible score.

Reviewing a SOC 2 report properly

Coverage period, Trust Services Criteria, scope, opinion, exceptions, CUECs and subservice organizations — what actually matters.

Continuous monitoring after approval

Certification expirations, contract renewals, score movement and new findings between assessment cycles.
