Adobe Vendor Security Review Program Overview

This white paper outlines the Adobe Vendor Security Review (VSR) program, which evaluates third-party vendors' compliance with Adobe's Vendor Information Security Standard. The program aims to provide a risk-based review of each vendor's security practices, enabling informed decisions by Adobe business owners regarding vendor selection. Managed by the Adobe Security team, the VSR program establishes requirements for vendors that collect, store, process, transmit, access, or dispose of Adobe data. The onboarding process for vendors includes a detailed questionnaire assessing their security controls, inherent risk, and vendor security posture. The paper details the monitoring processes, including periodic reviews and real-time threat intelligence, to ensure ongoing compliance and risk management. Additionally, it discusses the Vendor Risk Management Policy and the necessity of privacy assessments for vendors handling personal information. The document emphasizes the importance of security addendums and data processing agreements to maintain compliance with Adobe's security standards throughout the vendor relationship.
