Vendor Security Checklist: 10 Questions to Ask Your Public Safety Technology Vendor
How do you know your public safety technology vendor is protecting your data, not just saying they are?
Security claims are only as good as the evidence behind them: independent testing, third-party CJIS assessment, fast vulnerability remediation, and a workforce that’s actually screened and trained.
A trustworthy vendor should be prepared to explain its practices, provide evidence, and be transparent about risks, not simply offer assurances.
Some questions worth asking your vendor include:
- Can they show outside testing of their defenses, not just their own word?
- Are they independently assessed against CJIS, or self-attesting to it?
- Can they detect, respond to, and report an incident quickly?
