Frequently Asked Questions

When should I send this assessment?

Send during vendor onboarding before granting system access or sharing sensitive data. Also use it for annual reassessments of existing vendors, especially those handling sensitive data or critical business functions.

Which certifications are most important?

SOC 2 Type II is the gold standard for SaaS vendors. ISO 27001 demonstrates a mature security program. For healthcare, HIPAA compliance is essential. For payment processing, PCI DSS is required. Evaluate based on your industry and data types.

How do I score vendor responses?

The form calculates risk scores based on responses. Key factors include security certifications held, data encryption practices, access controls, and incident response capabilities. Higher scores indicate lower risk.

What if a vendor doesn't meet requirements?

Document gaps and work with the vendor to establish remediation timelines. Some gaps may be acceptable with compensating controls. Critical gaps may require declining the vendor relationship or implementing additional safeguards.

How often should I reassess vendors?

Annual reassessments are standard for most vendors. High-risk vendors (those with access to sensitive data or critical systems) should be assessed more frequently, potentially quarterly or after any significant changes.

Can vendors self-certify their responses?

Yes, but consider requesting documentation (certificates, policies, audit reports) for critical items. The form includes fields for vendors to attach supporting documentation and certify the accuracy of their responses.
