Glossary definition

Reassessment

Reassessment is a repeat security evaluation of an existing vendor, performed periodically or after a triggering event, to confirm its risk posture remains acceptable.

Workflow Ops

Why It Matters

In security reviews

Reassessment catches drift in a vendor's posture over time, since a one-time review can become stale.

Workflow Context

Where it shows up

Scheduled within the TPRM program on a cadence tied to the vendor's risk tier.

Common Mistakes

What to avoid
  1. Treating reassessment as a universal term with no workflow context.

    Use this as an editorial checkpoint when the term appears in a buyer review, internal workflow, or vendor evaluation.
