If you're selling a product, or looking at vendors, use the security component as a marketing selling push. Say, “Here's a one-sheet about how secure we are,” and have marketing add that to their pitch. Then ask marketing for dollars to fund it.

Another interesting thing to think about is not only the third parties that you do business with, but also some of your third-party customers. Who uses your company that you want to help manage, especially if they have a network connection back to you or an outsourced vendor that you allow onto your network? And then, where do you stop? There are fourth party relationships that you need to be concerned about as well. Those are things to keep in mind.Sr. Director of Enterprise Security in Software, 5,001 - 10,000 employees
