We have talked a lot about the overlapping compliance requirements that many organizations face, when it comes to data security. Complying with State laws, Federal requirements, industry regulators, and even International laws such as the EU GDPR. We have also spoken to the importance of holding external vendors / contractors to the same security credentials expected internally. Flipping the perspective, you can then see the additional challenges organizations face as the hired contractor / vendor, adhering to the standards of other organization(s) in addition to all these other requirements.
