Add a vendor assesement to the security page.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We regularly get requests on the security ML about those similar
questions.

I'd love to have something I can just point users at, and update when
necessary.

I would love to also have something more actionable than "we cannot help
you"; like point to a discord thread, or issue where vendor coudl reply
"yes I can help you", because at least it's fair.

## vendor assessments

Jupyter cannot provide, or fill in "Plan-Risk Assessment", "Hecvat", "Vpat" and
similar vendor assessing questionnaire.

You likely have been redirected to this section after contacting the Jupyter
security team to fill in a questionnaire about the security best practice of your
Jupyter "vendor", and to assess the Jupyter "product".

The Jupyter Team and Jupyter Security team are not vendors, and cannot act as
a vendor. To be a vendor Jupyter would need to have a contractual relationship
with you, which we do not have.

Your questionnaire also likely ask how your 'vendor' store your informations
(user information, billing information, contact...); who has access to it; and
how they are vetted... etc. The Jupyter team does not have any contact or
billing information; nor do we collect; store or have access to any of the
information about how your Jupyter user use Jupyter, or what they do in Jupyter;
the Jupyter Team is not aware either of who installs Jupyter.

- If you use a service provider for Jupyter; they are your vendor, and can
answer those questions.

- If you self-host Jupyter, then it is likely to your IT team to fill in those
assessment as all the data is controlled by your IT team.

- If you still do need a vendor assessment we advise you to contact one of the
many companies that provide Jupyter support; We cannot unfortunately give you
names out of fairness.
