1 Assess your security needs

Before you engage in any external partnership, you need to assess your own security needs and capabilities. What are your security objectives, policies, and standards? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are the gaps and opportunities for improvement? You need to have a clear understanding of your security posture and maturity, as well as your risk appetite and tolerance. This will help you identify the potential benefits and challenges of partnering with others.

The size and complexity of the partnership: Larger and more complex partnerships present greater security risks. The type of partnership: Some types of partnerships, such as cloud computing partnerships, present greater security risks than others. The security posture of the partner: It is important to assess the security posture of your potential partner before entering into a partnership. The level of data sharing: If you will be sharing data with your partner, it is important to have a data sharing agreement in place that outlines your security requirements.

2 Choose your partners wisely

Not all partners are created equal when it comes to information security. You need to choose your partners wisely, based on their reputation, performance, and compatibility with your security requirements. You should conduct due diligence and background checks on your potential partners, and verify their security credentials and certifications. You should also evaluate their security culture and practices, and how they handle incidents and breaches. You want to partner with someone who shares your security values and vision, and who can complement your security capabilities.

3 Define your roles and responsibilities

Once you have chosen your partner, you need to define your roles and responsibilities in the partnership. You should establish clear and mutual expectations and obligations, and document them in a formal agreement. You should also specify how you will communicate, collaborate, and coordinate on security matters, and how you will measure and monitor your security performance. You should also define how you will share, protect, and use the information that you exchange with your partner, and what are the rights and obligations of each party in case of a security incident or breach.

4 Implement security controls and safeguards

You need to implement security controls and safeguards to protect your information and systems from unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification by your partner or third parties. You should apply the principle of least privilege, and grant your partner only the minimum access and permissions that they need to perform their tasks. You should also encrypt, anonymize, or pseudonymize the information that you share with your partner, and use secure channels and protocols for data transmission. You should also audit and log your partner's activities, and review them regularly for any anomalies or violations.

When implanting security controls and safeguarding information its ideal to ensure that the level of access is set to only what is permitted to accomplish the work. By maintaining a secure method and combining the lowest-privilege aspect of an account, the areas that require additional security steps are further isolated. Rather than keeping a blanket access to an entire defined role, per-user limited access helps to maintain a smaller footprint. Between internal and external partners, data transmission should be anonymized while tracked on the source end. Tying these two systems together will help add a layer of protection.

5 Educate and train your staff and partner

You need to educate and train your staff and partner on the security policies, procedures, and standards that apply to the partnership. You should raise awareness and promote a security culture among both parties, and encourage them to report any security issues or incidents. You should also provide regular updates and feedback on your security performance and improvement. You should also conduct joint exercises and simulations to test your security readiness and resilience, and learn from each other's experiences and best practices.

In training third-party partners, focus should be on minimizing the burden of training, scoping only to the role’s functions. Keeping these trainings as simple will increase their impact by simplifying the core aspects of the training. When training is focused to the situation and the role, the important information is more applicable and easier to digest rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ idea that may have too much or even too little applicability to the role being trained.

6 Review and improve your partnership

You need to review and improve your partnership on a regular basis, and adapt to the changing security landscape and business environment. You should evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of your security controls and safeguards, and identify any gaps or weaknesses. You should also solicit and exchange feedback and suggestions with your partner, and implement any necessary changes or enhancements. You should also celebrate your security achievements and successes, and recognize and reward your partner's contributions and efforts.
