The framework

What MVSP asks of you.

What it is

MVSP is a minimum security baseline for business-to-business software and business process outsourcing suppliers, developed by a working group of industry practitioners. It is a short checklist of controls grouped into business, application design, application implementation and operational areas. Buyers use it in procurement and vendor reviews, and suppliers use it to show a baseline before more detailed assessments.

Minimum Viable Secure Product

Who needs it

  • SaaS companies answering security reviews
  • Procurement and third-party risk teams
  • Early-stage companies building a baseline before SOC 2 or ISO 27001

1Your product

Track the baseline for what you ship

Each MVSP control shows its readiness and evidence. Connectors such as GitHub and AWS read the systems behind many of the technical controls.

2Your vendors

Hold suppliers to the same baseline

Send vendor questionnaires and keep each response with the vendor's record. Third-party risk sits beside your own controls.

3Next step

A foundation for SOC 2 and ISO 27001

Many MVSP controls overlap with SOC 2 and ISO 27001. One check maps to every framework it supports, so the work carries forward.

What it does

Shows where MVSP shares controls with your other frameworks.

What it never does

Count a control as verified because someone said so.

FAQ

MVSP questions.

Is MVSP a certification?

No. MVSP is a self-assessed checklist with no certifying body. Venevor helps you track your answers and the evidence behind them.

Can we use MVSP to assess our vendors?

Yes. Send vendor questionnaires built around the baseline and keep each response with the vendor's record.

Should we do MVSP or SOC 2?

They serve different purposes. MVSP is a short baseline, and SOC 2 is an independent audit report many customers require. Venevor tracks both, and shared controls are checked once.

Which connectors help with MVSP?

GitHub and AWS cover much of the code and infrastructure side, and Okta or Microsoft Entra ID cover identity.
