Supplier Security Review
Assess a supplier’s security posture against your organisation’s requirements before onboarding, renewal or continued use.
The service reviews the security information available for a supplier, considering the nature of the service, access to systems or data, business criticality and the security requirements that apply. Supplier-provided material such as questionnaires, certificates, security reports and contractual documentation can be included in the review.
The result is a structured assessment highlighting relevant security concerns, outstanding points and areas requiring follow-up, including where internal, contractual or regulatory requirements need to be passed on to the supplier.

The service starts with basic information about the supplier, the service provided, the type of access or data involved and the requirements that apply.
Supplier-provided material such as security questionnaires, certificates, reports, policies, contractual documents or security whitepapers can be submitted through the online brief.
The material is reviewed in the context of the supplier relationship and assessed against the relevant business, contractual and security requirements.
Where applicable, the review also considers regulatory or security requirements that may need to flow down to the supplier.
The completed assessment is delivered as a written report, including any points requiring clarification or follow-up.
A supplier may present strong security documentation while still leaving important questions unanswered for your specific relationship.
An independent review helps identify weaknesses, missing information or requirements that have not been adequately addressed before a supplier is onboarded, renewed or relied upon for a critical service.
It can also help ensure that relevant security obligations are reflected in supplier requirements rather than remaining only at the internal level.
The assessment provides a structured view of the supplier’s security position, including:
- Key security findings and concerns
- Areas where supplier information is incomplete or unclear
- Assessment against applicable business and contractual requirements
- Relevant regulatory or security flow-down considerations
- Questions or actions requiring supplier follow-up
- An overall recommendation, where appropriate
