Reassessment and Continuous Improvement of Your Ecosystem’s Cyber Maturity

On average, vendors assessed by CyberVadis improve their scores by 14% between two consecutive assessments—meaning real progress happens over time. That’s exactly why we recommend a yearly re-assessment for your vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cybersecurity Improvement Plans

Reassessment has never been easier—there's no need to start the reassessment questionnaire from scratch. Vendors just need to review and update the controls and evidence as needed:

  • The questionnaire is prefilled with answers from their previous assessment, meaning vendors only need to review, update, and enrich the evidence for controls they have previously declared.
  • Vendors can also declare any new controls they have implemented.
  • Additionally, they will need to answer any new questions CyberVadis may have added to its methodology.

When vendors are working on the recommended improvements, you can view their progress in real-time. Vendors can move improvement cards from one column to the next to indicate the action’s current status (to do, in progress, or completed).

Yes, vendors can be reassessed at any time, and CyberVadis recommends a yearly reassessment.

  • If vendors want their improvements to be formally reflected in their CyberVadis score, they must proactively trigger a new assessment.
  • If you would like to track the progress made since the last assessment, you can request a reassessment.
  • Vendors undergoing a second assessment within a single subscription year will be charged an additional one-time fee.
