According to the National Cyber Security Centre (“NCSC”), a third of charities are using at least one managed service provider, but only 13% reviewed the risks posed by immediate suppliers.
That raises a couple of questions:
- Are two thirds of charities really not using any managed service providers for cloud CRM, cloud storage, hoisted email, etc?
- Of those that do, why are they not checking the risks which should be done as part of the RoPA / Information Audit?
