Cybervadis was created last year as a spin-off of EcoVadis to leverage the same technology and business model but apply it to cybersecurity and data privacy (GDRP) 3rd parties risk assessment. Clients can access ratings and scorecards for the security robustness of different vendors on a singular platform. Through its risk assessment methodology, Cybervadis works with the key stakeholders of a supply chain organization to assist them in identifying the vendors with the best cybersecurity performance. The ones with the highest ranks are invited to register on Cybervadis’ online network. Depending on the vendor’s profile, the company’s system creates dynamic set of questions, answers to which are reviewed in by their cybersecurity analysts, along with evidence documentation. After the evaluation, score-cards and ratings are created to depict the cybersecurity performance of each vendor. At the end of the day, CyberVadis provides both the vendors as well as the clients with clear recommendations that enable them to improve their security posture.

Further, the methodology maps to all major international standards, including GDPR, NIST, NY DFS, and CCPA.
Thaler mentions that EcoVadis’ comprehensive assessment methodology has enabled the company to gain traction among 50,000 customers across 125 countries today. One specific CyberVadis’s success story that he talks about, is for one of the largest global pharma companies. The entity didn’t reach out to Cybervadis merely because of their holistic assessment service or scalable platform, but primarily due to their easy-to-understand ratings and scorecards that could empower the end-users and decision makers. Cybervadis’ solution provided them an integrated way of assessing their vendors and also decentralized the supply chain process based on the ratings and scorecard, and any end-user could apprehend the risk associated with a particular vendor.
The quintessential aspect that differentiates EcoVadis is that it combines its technology and human expertise to deliver an integrated vendor assessment solution. The company’s global network today consists of more than 300 Fortune 2000 companies in Europe, North America, and Asia which also provides it a strategic edge over other companies to scale operations quickly. Going forward, EcoVadis aims to deploy tools to create robust processes for supply chain companies. “We will continue to support suppliers to improve their practices in the ever-changing risk environment,” concludes Thaler.
