Assess whether your vendor risk program is equipped to handle AI tool adoption.
What it covers
This checklist walks you through seven vendor risk program areas, with 25 assessment items written specifically for organizations that have adopted AI tools or are evaluating them. Covered areas include vendor inventory, risk tiering, data flow mapping, assessment process, contractual controls, ongoing monitoring, and internal governance. Each section addresses where AI tools introduce complexity that standard vendor assessments were not designed to handle.
Who it’s for
IT and security professionals responsible for vendor risk at organizations that have adopted or are considering AI tools. The checklist applies whether your program is established and you want to test it against AI-specific complexity, or you are formalizing your program ahead of a customer review or compliance audit.
Why it matters
Customer security questionnaires, enterprise procurement reviews, and compliance audits increasingly ask how organizations govern their third-party vendors, including AI tools. This checklist identifies where your program can answer those questions and where gaps are most likely to surface under external scrutiny.
