FAQs: Third-Party Data Flow Security

What is third-party data flow security?

Third-party data flow security is tracking and controlling how sensitive data moves to and through vendors, contractors, and other outside parties, so a breach at a third party doesn't become a breach of your own data.

As IT environments grow more distributed and threats more automated, gaps in third-party data flow security are exactly what attackers look for first - making it one of the higher-leverage areas to get right.

The most common pattern is treating third-party data flow security as a one-time setup rather than an ongoing program - controls drift out of date as the environment changes, and nobody notices until something goes wrong.

Continuously, ideally - third-party data flow security works best as an always-on program rather than a quarterly or annual checklist item, since new risks appear between review cycles too.
