## 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
|
|

|
|
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

|
-
- Contract should include: acceptable use and data handling clauses
|
|
65
|
-
|
|
66
|

## 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.

## 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
|
-

## 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

## 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
|
|

|
|
68
|
+
- Requires: Lightweight onboarding check (do they have a security program?)
|
|
69
|
+
- Standard contract terms sufficient

## 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.

## 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
|
+

## 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
|
+
