"DoorDash data mishap showcases hazards of third-party vendors," Compliance Week

Articles / Publications
In an article published in Compliance Week on September 27, India Vincent is quoted discussing the recent DoorDash data incident involving a third-party vendor.
“Vendor management can be daunting for anyone, but particularly challenging for businesses that lack resources for this task (and everyone has limited resources),” noted Vincent.
Cyber-criminals look for the weakest link in the system in order to gain access to data, and third-party vendors are becoming a target. DoorDash is not naming the third-party vendor at this time, but this incident is a reminder that companies must monitor their third-party vendors and impose data security guidelines.
