CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

The right-to-audit clause is crucial as it ensures that your organization has the legal right to audit the vendor. This clause allows your organization to verify compliance with security policies and standards firsthand. While other options like reviewing evidence of internal audits and supply chain analysis also help evaluate the vendor's security posture, these are seen as secondary steps that rely on the vendor's own reports. Penetration testing is important, but without the right-to-audit clause, your organization cannot ensure that ongoing compliance and security measures adhere to expected standards.
