The standards are very sensible. If you can't be bothered to provide even simple evidence that your employees are using basic harddrive encryption, use password managers, and your product has backup in place, I don't want to do business with you.

And Delve isn't an auditor. Though they were apparently in cohoots with equally criminal third party auditors. So I guess I'm going to be looking more closely at just exactly who exactly are auditing our vendors in the future...
