Understanding Artifacts
Artifacts in the context of data protection and cybersecurity refer to documents, logs, reports, or other evidence that demonstrate compliance, security posture, or specific actions taken during an audit or risk assessment. These can include records such as audit trails, security incident reports, configuration files, and access logs. Artifacts provide verifiable evidence of a third-party vendor’s adherence to security policies and compliance standards.
Artifacts are often required during due diligence or compliance audits to validate that third-party vendors have implemented appropriate security controls and data protection measures. Collecting and reviewing artifacts allows organizations to ensure that vendors follow best practices in data security and privacy. Maintaining thorough documentation and artifacts also enables organizations to respond efficiently to regulatory inquiries and supports ongoing monitoring of third-party risk.
Furthermore, by uploading relevant artifacts to their CORL profile, healthcare vendors can streamline and automate assessment response while generating high-quality responses with CORL Companion.
