Enterprise Event Tech Security Checklist
The questions your security team will ask about any event platform. Written so you can hand it to them.
Cover of the Enterprise Event Tech Security Checklist
When an events team chooses a platform, the review that decides it usually happens in another department. This checklist is for that review.
It is written for IT, information security and risk reviewers, and it is vendor-neutral. It names no product, including ours. Every question is one a security reviewer would ask of any corporate event platform, and each section says what a weak answer looks like.
Who it is for. Heads of Events and events managers at banks and law firms who want to walk into a vendor review already knowing what will be asked. And the reviewers themselves.
Eight sections
- 01Certifications and independent assurance
- 02Hosting, data residency and encryption
- 03Identity and access: single sign-on, multi-factor, roles and permissions
- 04Data retention and what happens at the end of a contract
- 05Personal data: guest data, dietary and accessibility information, subprocessors
- 06Integrations, exports and where the data goes
- 07Audit trail: who did what, and whether you can see it yourself
- 08Incident response, resilience and continuity
Plus a red-flags page and a one-page scoring summary.
