Record the outcome, conditions, and follow-up requirements.
04
Export
Ship a defensible due diligence pack with a decision trail.
Why
Vendor risk needs receipts.

Buyers and auditors care about how you evaluate vendors and subprocessors, and whether you can show what you asked for, what you received, and what you decided.

This template gives you a structure you can assign, track, and export as a due diligence pack.

Template
The template structure
  • Security and access controls questions
  • Data handling and retention questions
  • Incident response and breach notification questions

Workflow
Review workflow
  1. Assign: vendor completes questionnaire
  2. Collect: vendor uploads requested artifacts
