Vendor Assessment

The term vendor assessment (often vendor security assessment) refers to evaluating a provider before or during a company's collaboration with them. It overlaps heavily with due diligence and supplier evaluation but usually emphasises the security aspect. It's carried out via standardised questionnaires such as CAIQ or SIG, supplemented by evidence and certificates. For critical providers, deeper reviews or audits often follow.

For providers, the vendor assessment is the moment trust is built or broken. The customer wants proof that their data is safe, and measures that by the quality and speed of the answers. The same assessments arrive from many customers in slightly varied form, yet are handled from scratch every time. Whoever maintains a curated answer base passes them in their sleep; whoever starts over each time loses days.
