How does the cadence work between TPN Blue and Gold?

Completion of the TPN Blue self-reported Best Practices questionnaire is the pre-requisite to completing a TPN Gold 3rd party assessment. The TPN Blue self-reported Best Practices questionnaire must be updated on an annual basis, which gives the Content Owners visibility to anything that might have changed in the last year. If nothing substantial has changed, the TPN Gold 3rd party assessment remains valid for two years. Please note that if your annual update to the Blue TPN questionnaire includes a major change, a Content Owner may require you to accelerate your next TPN Gold assessment.
