Vendor Security Assessment Questionnaire Template
Use this vendor security assessment questionnaire template before onboarding, renewal, privileged access, sensitive data sharing, or a critical vendor dependency. Responses stay local until you export a PDF.
Start questionnaire with the vendor profile, then move through each section at your own pace.
What this vendor security assessment questionnaire covers
This template gives procurement, legal, and security teams a consistent way to evaluate vendor access, cloud hosting, subcontractors, secure development, data protection, monitoring, and resilience controls before onboarding or renewal.
Evidence to request from vendors
The questions are written to surface useful follow-up evidence: MFA coverage, vulnerability management cadence, penetration testing, restoration testing, incident response exercises, endpoint visibility, security ownership, and policy maturity.
When to use the assessment
Use it before giving a vendor production access, sensitive data, administrative privileges, or a critical business dependency. The output helps identify gaps that need contract language, compensating controls, deeper review, or executive risk acceptance.
Browser-local PDF export
Responses stay in the browser session until the user exports a PDF. That makes the tool useful for internal triage, customer-facing diligence, and early scoping without sending answers to GreenHat.
Reusable vendor review record
Teams can rerun the same questions during renewals, compare vendors against a consistent baseline, and keep the exported PDF with procurement, legal, or risk documentation for audit support.
Data remains local to your session.
Use the assessment as part of a broader third-party risk review.
The exported record can support vendor due diligence, customer security reviews, evidence collection, and renewal conversations. If the answers reveal material gaps, GreenHat can help turn the output into a practical remediation or acceptance path.
Third-party risk and security advisory
Connect vendor review findings to ownership, compensating controls, and executive risk decisions.
