Fill in: 'We ___ a risk assessment on every new vendor handling customer data, rather than signing a contract on trust and a friendly sales call alone.'
We 'conduct an assessment' — the standard, simple collocation for formally evaluating a vendor's risk. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Skipping due diligence on a new data vendor can ___ a serious security gap in their systems completely unnoticed until it's actually exploited.'
We say skipped diligence will 'leave' a real gap unnoticed — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting exposure. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every vendor's security posture against a standard checklist, rather than a different informal bar for each new supplier.'
We 'evaluate a posture' — the standard, simple collocation for reviewing a vendor's security practices consistently. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ any identified gap with a written remediation plan before signing, rather than accepting a vague verbal promise to fix it later.'
We 'address a gap' — the standard, simple collocation for resolving a found risk before finalizing a deal. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every active vendor's risk rating annually, since a supplier that was safe two years ago isn't automatically safe today.'
We 'reassess a rating' — the standard, simple collocation for periodically reviewing an existing vendor's risk level. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
