🚨 DISA Global Solutions Data Breach: 3.3 Million Individuals Affected 🚨
Another major third-party data breach—this time at DISA Global Solutions, a company specializing in background screening and compliance services. 3.3 million individuals had their personal data exposed, including Social Security numbers and drug test results.🔍 Key Takeaways:✅ Background check firms store highly sensitive data—making them prime cyberattack targets.
✅ A compromised third party can put your entire organization at risk.
✅ Organizations must vet vendor security just as they do their own.

💡 What This Means for Your Business:

A weak link in your supply chain can lead to catastrophic data exposure. Now’s the time to:

🔹 Conduct third-party risk assessments before partnering with vendors.
🔹 Require cybersecurity audits & compliance verification (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
🔹 Ensure data minimization—don’t collect/store more than necessary.
🔹 Implement continuous monitoring for real-time threat detection.

🚀 Third-party risk is enterprise risk. If your vendors aren’t secure, neither are you. Are you confident in your supply chain security?
