Tiering model

• Tier 0 — core processors of sensitive/special data

• Tier 2 — limited or anonymised analytics

Lifecycle controls

Onboarding diligence, DPAs/BAAs, transfer assessments, access provisioning, offboarding data return/deletion certificates.

Continuous oversight

Subscribe to vendor status/security notices, re-score after incidents, and sample access logs where joint responsibility exists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are SIG questionnaires enough?

They help; still verify high-tier vendors with evidence and contractual rights.

How do transfers fit?

Document mechanisms (e.g., SCCs where used) beside the vendor record.

Tooling?

GRC vendor modules linked to contract repositories beat spreadsheets.
