Third Party Connection Policy
The Third Party Connection Policy covers company standards for directly connecting to third parties such as vendors, partners, customers, consultants. It includes topics such as the use and security of these connections, access restrictions, and audits.
Direct connections to external entities are sometimes required for business operations. These connections are typically to provide access to vendors or customers for service delivery. Since the company's security policies and controls do not extend to the users of the third parties' networks, these connections can present a significant risk to the network and thus require careful consideration.
