- ## Vendor Risk Program Overview
14
-
15
- SOC 2 CC9.2 requires organizations to assess and manage risks arising from vendors and business
16
- partners who have access to systems or data, or on whom the organization depends for critical
17
- services.
18
-
19
- ### What auditors look for:
20
- 1. A **vendor inventory** exists and is maintained
21
- 2. Vendors are **tiered by risk** and assessed accordingly
22
- 3. **Due diligence** was performed before critical vendors were onboarded
23
- 4. Vendor assessments are **reviewed at least annually**
24
- 5. **Contracts** include appropriate security and data protection requirements
25
- 6. **CUECs** from vendor SOC 2 reports are identified and addressed
26
-
27
- ---
28
-
29
- ## Vendor Inventory Template
30
-
31
- Maintain a spreadsheet or GRC tool record for each vendor:
32
-
33
- | Field | Description |
34
- |---|---|
35
- | Vendor Name | Legal entity name |
36
- | Service Provided | What they do for you |
37
- | Risk Tier | Critical / High / Medium / Low |
38
- | Data Access | Types of data they can access (PII, Confidential, none) |
39
- | System Access | Production / Staging / None |
40
- | SOC 2 Available? | Yes / No / In progress |
41
- | Last Assessment Date | Date of most recent due diligence |
42
- | Next Review Due | Based on tier cadence |
43
- | Contract Expiry | Date |
44
- | DPA Signed? | Yes / No / N/A |
45
- | Security Addendum? | Yes / No / N/A |
46
- | Primary Contact | Vendor security/legal contact |
47
- | Owner | Internal stakeholder who owns the relationship |
48
-
49
- ### Risk Tier Definitions
50
-
51
- **Critical:** Vendor has access to production systems or processes/stores customer PII.
52
- Examples: AWS, Azure, GCP, Salesforce, Snowflake, Stripe, database vendors.
53
- - Requires: SOC 2 report review OR full questionnaire + annual re-assessment
54
- - Contract must include: DPA, security addendum, breach notification <72hr, right to audit
55
-
56
- **High:** Vendor processes sensitive business data or is operationally critical.
57
- Examples: HR systems (Workday, Rippling), GitHub, Slack, identity providers.
58
- - Requires: SOC 2 report or questionnaire annually
59
- - Contract must include: DPA (if any personal data), security requirements
60
-
61
- **Medium:** Limited data exposure, some operational dependency.
62
- Examples: Project management tools, design tools, analytics platforms.
63
- - Requires: Security questionnaire or SOC 2 review at onboarding + biennial review
64
- - Contract should include: acceptable use and data handling clauses
65
-
66
- **Low:** No meaningful data access, low operational risk.
67
- Examples: Office supplies vendors, most SaaS point solutions without data access.
68
- - Requires: Lightweight onboarding check (do they have a security program?)
69
- - Standard contract terms sufficient
70
-
71

72
-
73
- ## Vendor Risk Questionnaire
74
-
75
- Use this questionnaire for High/Critical vendors that don't have a SOC 2 report, or to
76
- supplement a SOC 2 report. Customize based on the vendor's service type.

-
188
- ## Reviewing a Vendor's SOC 2 Report
189
-
190
- When a vendor provides their SOC 2 report, review the following:
191
-
192
- ### 1. Report Basics
193
- - **Report type:** Is it Type 1 (design only) or Type 2 (operating effectiveness)? Prefer Type 2.
194
- - **Audit period:** Does it cover a recent period? Reports older than 12 months are stale.
195
- - **Criteria in scope:** Does the report include the criteria relevant to your use case? (e.g., if you care about availability, is Availability in scope?)
196
- - **Auditor:** Is the CPA firm reputable? (Larger firms: Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PwC, Grant Thornton, etc.)
197
-
198
- ### 2. Auditor's Opinion
199
- - **Unqualified (clean) opinion:** No material exceptions.
200
- - **Qualified opinion:** One or more criteria not met — flag for review.
201
- - **Adverse opinion:** Multiple failures — escalate, this is a significant red flag.
202
-
203
- ### 3. Exceptions and Deviations
204
- - Read the "results of tests of controls" section carefully.
205
- - Any **exceptions** (control failures during the audit period) must be evaluated:
206
- - Is the control we depend on the one that had exceptions?
207
- - What was the vendor's remediation plan?
208
- - Has it been addressed (look for management response)?
209
-
210
- ### 4. Complementary User Entity Controls (CUECs)
211
- - Look for a section titled "Complementary User Entity Controls" or similar.
212
- - These are controls the vendor *requires you to operate* for their controls to be effective.
213
- - You must address every applicable CUEC (see [CUEC Management](#cuec-management) below).
214
-
215
- ### 5. System Description
216
- - Does the description match the services you actually use?
217
- - Are the systems and infrastructure you depend on included in scope?
218
-
219
- ### Review Log Entry
220
-
221
- Document each vendor SOC 2 review:
222
- ```
223
- Vendor: [Name]
224
- Report Type: Type 1 / Type 2
225
- Audit Period: [From] – [To]
226
- Date Reviewed: [Date]
227
- Reviewed By: [Name / Role]
228
- Opinion: Unqualified / Qualified / Adverse
229
- Notable Exceptions: [None / Description]
230
- CUECs Identified: [None / List]
231
- CUECs Addressed: [Yes / Partial / No — with details]
232
- Risk Rating: Low / Medium / High
233
- Action Items: [Any follow-up required]
234
- ```
235
-
236

237
-
238
- ## CUEC Management
239
-
240
- CUECs (Complementary User Entity Controls) are controls a vendor assumes *you* have in place.
241
- If you don't have them, the vendor's controls may not fully protect your environment.
242
-
243
- ### Common CUECs and Typical Responses
244
-
245
- | Common CUEC | Typical Vendor (Example) | Your Corresponding Control |
246
- |---|---|---|
247
- | "User entities restrict access to the service using the vendor's access control features" | AWS, Salesforce | Access control policy; MFA enforcement; role-based access |
248
- | "User entities are responsible for monitoring for unauthorized access using access logs" | AWS CloudTrail, Okta | SIEM ingesting vendor logs; alerting on suspicious logins |
249
- | "User entities configure data encryption using the features provided" | AWS S3, RDS | Encryption enabled at rest; documented in system configuration |
250
- | "User entities are responsible for their users' credentials" | Any SaaS | Password policy; MFA policy; offboarding process |
251

+ ## Vendor Risk Program Overview
14
+
15
+ SOC 2 CC9.2 requires organizations to assess and manage risks arising from vendors and business
16
+ partners who have access to systems or data, or on whom the organization depends for critical
17
+ services.
18
+
19
+ ### What auditors look for:
20
+ 1. A **vendor inventory** exists and is maintained
21
+ 2. Vendors are **tiered by risk** and assessed accordingly
22
+ 3. **Due diligence** was performed before critical vendors were onboarded
23
+ 4. Vendor assessments are **reviewed at least annually**
24
+ 5. **Contracts** include appropriate security and data protection requirements
25
+ 6. **CUECs** from vendor SOC 2 reports are identified and addressed
26
+
27

28
+
29
+ ## Vendor Inventory Template
30
+
31
+ Maintain a spreadsheet or GRC tool record for each vendor:
32
+
33
+ | Field | Description |
34
+ |---|---|
35
+ | Vendor Name | Legal entity name |
36
+ | Service Provided | What they do for you |
37
+ | Risk Tier | Critical / High / Medium / Low |
38
+ | Data Access | Types of data they can access (PII, Confidential, none) |
39
+ | System Access | Production / Staging / None |
40
+ | SOC 2 Available? | Yes / No / In progress |
41
+ | Last Assessment Date | Date of most recent due diligence |
42
+ | Next Review Due | Based on tier cadence |
43
+ | Contract Expiry | Date |
44
+ | DPA Signed? | Yes / No / N/A |
45
+ | Security Addendum? | Yes / No / N/A |
46
+ | Primary Contact | Vendor security/legal contact |
47
+ | Owner | Internal stakeholder who owns the relationship |
48
+
49
+ ### Risk Tier Definitions
50
+
51
+ **Critical:** Vendor has access to production systems or processes/stores customer PII.
52
+ Examples: AWS, Azure, GCP, Salesforce, Snowflake, Stripe, database vendors.
53
+ - Requires: SOC 2 report review OR full questionnaire + annual re-assessment
54
+ - Contract must include: DPA, security addendum, breach notification <72hr, right to audit
55
+
56
+ **High:** Vendor processes sensitive business data or is operationally critical.
57
+ Examples: HR systems (Workday, Rippling), GitHub, Slack, identity providers.
58
+ - Requires: SOC 2 report or questionnaire annually
59
+ - Contract must include: DPA (if any personal data), security requirements
60
+
61
+ **Medium:** Limited data exposure, some operational dependency.
62
+ Examples: Project management tools, design tools, analytics platforms.
63
+ - Requires: Security questionnaire or SOC 2 review at onboarding + biennial review
64
+ - Contract should include: acceptable use and data handling clauses
65
+
66
+ **Low:** No meaningful data access, low operational risk.
67
+ Examples: Office supplies vendors, most SaaS point solutions without data access.
68
+ - Requires: Lightweight onboarding check (do they have a security program?)
69
+ - Standard contract terms sufficient
70
+
71

72
+
73
+ ## Vendor Risk Questionnaire
74
+
75
+ Use this questionnaire for High/Critical vendors that don't have a SOC 2 report, or to
76
+ supplement a SOC 2 report. Customize based on the vendor's service type.

+
188
+ ## Reviewing a Vendor's SOC 2 Report
189
+
190
+ When a vendor provides their SOC 2 report, review the following:
191
+
192
+ ### 1. Report Basics
193
+ - **Report type:** Is it Type 1 (design only) or Type 2 (operating effectiveness)? Prefer Type 2.
194
+ - **Audit period:** Does it cover a recent period? Reports older than 12 months are stale.
195
+ - **Criteria in scope:** Does the report include the criteria relevant to your use case? (e.g., if you care about availability, is Availability in scope?)
196
+ - **Auditor:** Is the CPA firm reputable? (Larger firms: Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PwC, Grant Thornton, etc.)
197
+
198
+ ### 2. Auditor's Opinion
199
+ - **Unqualified (clean) opinion:** No material exceptions.
200
+ - **Qualified opinion:** One or more criteria not met — flag for review.
201
+ - **Adverse opinion:** Multiple failures — escalate, this is a significant red flag.
202
+
203
+ ### 3. Exceptions and Deviations
204
+ - Read the "results of tests of controls" section carefully.
205
+ - Any **exceptions** (control failures during the audit period) must be evaluated:
206
+ - Is the control we depend on the one that had exceptions?
207
+ - What was the vendor's remediation plan?
208
+ - Has it been addressed (look for management response)?
209
+
210
+ ### 4. Complementary User Entity Controls (CUECs)
211
+ - Look for a section titled "Complementary User Entity Controls" or similar.
212
+ - These are controls the vendor *requires you to operate* for their controls to be effective.
213
+ - You must address every applicable CUEC (see [CUEC Management](#cuec-management) below).
214
+
215
+ ### 5. System Description
216
+ - Does the description match the services you actually use?
217
+ - Are the systems and infrastructure you depend on included in scope?
218
+
219
+ ### Review Log Entry
220
+
221
+ Document each vendor SOC 2 review:
222
+ ```
223
+ Vendor: [Name]
224
+ Report Type: Type 1 / Type 2
225
+ Audit Period: [From] – [To]
226
+ Date Reviewed: [Date]
227
+ Reviewed By: [Name / Role]
228
+ Opinion: Unqualified / Qualified / Adverse
229
+ Notable Exceptions: [None / Description]
230
+ CUECs Identified: [None / List]
231
+ CUECs Addressed: [Yes / Partial / No — with details]
232
+ Risk Rating: Low / Medium / High
233
+ Action Items: [Any follow-up required]
234
+ ```
235
+
236
+ ---
237
+
238
+ ## CUEC Management
239
+
240
+ CUECs (Complementary User Entity Controls) are controls a vendor assumes *you* have in place.
241
+ If you don't have them, the vendor's controls may not fully protect your environment.
242
+
243
+ ### Common CUECs and Typical Responses
244
+
245
+ | Common CUEC | Typical Vendor (Example) | Your Corresponding Control |
246
+ |---|---|---|
247
+ | "User entities restrict access to the service using the vendor's access control features" | AWS, Salesforce | Access control policy; MFA enforcement; role-based access |
248
+ | "User entities are responsible for monitoring for unauthorized access using access logs" | AWS CloudTrail, Okta | SIEM ingesting vendor logs; alerting on suspicious logins |
249
+ | "User entities configure data encryption using the features provided" | AWS S3, RDS | Encryption enabled at rest; documented in system configuration |
250
+ | "User entities are responsible for their users' credentials" | Any SaaS | Password policy; MFA policy; offboarding process |
251
+ | "User entities notify the vendor of any personnel changes" | Managed service providers | Offboarding SOP includes notifying critical vendors |
252
+ | "User entities perform their own risk assessments" | Most vendors | Annual risk assessment process (CC3) |
253
+
254
+ ### CUEC Tracking Spreadsheet Fields
255
+
256
+ | CUEC # | Vendor | CUEC Description | Applicable? | Corresponding Control | Evidence | Owner | Status |
257
+ |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
258
+ | 1 | AWS | Users restrict access via IAM | Yes | Access Control Policy + IAM review | Quarterly IAM review records | DevOps | Met |
259
+ | 2 | Salesforce | Users monitor login activity | Yes | SIEM ingests Salesforce logs | SIEM screenshots | Security | Met |
