An assessment approaches that allows multiple Outsourcers with common interests to come together to assess a common service set at a Third Party. Collaborative assessments allow Third Party providers an efficient way to help multiple customers gain assurance at the same time while reducing the number of days spent managing onsite assessments. Collaborative assessments can also be performed by proxy, utilizing an independent assessment firm to help gather assessment requirements and to perform an onsite assessment on behalf of multiple customers of a service provider.
