Vendor Offboarding

Vendor offboarding is the security-critical discipline of ensuring that a terminated vendor relationship leaves no residual exposure. Incomplete offboarding is one of the most common and least visible sources of third-party risk, as former vendors may retain access to systems or data long after a contract ends without either party recognizing the exposure.
