GV.SC-10.117

Does your organization have a documented process for terminating or transitioning supplier relationships that specifically addresses supply chain security risks and resilience?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has formal procedures to manage the security implications when ending or changing supplier relationships. Without proper termination/transition planning, organizations risk data breaches, service disruptions, or compliance violations during these critical periods. Evidence could include a formal supplier offboarding policy document, transition plan templates that include security considerations, or completed supplier transition plans that demonstrate how security risks were addressed during previous supplier changes.

Implementation Example

Develop and execute a plan for terminating or transitioning supplier relationships that takes supply chain security risk and resiliency into account

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
