Home Depot Vendor Security Requirements

• The Home Depot’s vendor risk management program works to classify service provider or business partner risk based on several factors, including, but not limited to, data type accessed and/or retained.
• Service provider or business partner security risk assessments are conducted for targeted relationships.
• Where applicable, service providers and business partners are contractually obligated to protect restricted data provided by or received from The Home Depot.

If you’ve been identified as a “service provider” or “business partner” by the Home Depot, then expect a healthy list of security compliance requirements to come your way. Much like Lowe’s, The Home Depot has been making big strides in developing and formalizing extensive measures relating to vendor risk management for their third-parties. Here's what’s on the list for The Home Depot in terms of requirements for “service providers” and “business partners”:

• Information security policies and procedures.
• Security awareness training.
• Risk assessments.
• And more.

The Home Depot wants to ensure their vendors have appropriate security and privacy safeguards in place for protecting consumer data and any other type of data resident in a vendor’s system that is owned by The Home Depot.
