The new vendor was going to send the data to the same 3rd party backend solution.</p> <p>Someone mentioned to the department that <a href="https://www.peerlyst.com/tags/it-security">IT security</a> may want to review the vendor. They reached out to me and gave me the high-level back story and were unsure of what further information I might need. They also didn’t understand the “why” for this security review.</p>
