Vendor Risk & Supplier Assurance
Third-Party Risk Under Control. Compliance Beyond Your Walls.
Your organization is only as secure as the vendors you rely on. From cloud providers to marketing partners and payroll processors, third parties routinely handle sensitive data. Without structured oversight, vendor relationships can become your biggest compliance exposure. At Baseel, we design Vendor Risk & Supplier Assurance programs that extend governance beyond your organization : ensuring accountability across your entire ecosystem.

With Baseel, your Records of Processing Activities become the backbone of your privacy governance program—not just a regulatory obligation
Risk-Based Vendor Assessment
Identify Exposure Before Onboarding
-
Not all vendors carry the same level of risk.
-
We implement structured due diligence frameworks that assess suppliers based on the nature of data processed, processing volume, geographic exposure and criticality to operations. Questionnaires, control reviews and documentation analysis help identify security and privacy gaps before contracts are executed.
-
Risk is evaluated before access is granted.
Contractual Safeguards & Data Protection Clause
Embed Accountability in Agreements
-
Vendor contracts must clearly define data protection obligations, security standards, breach notification timelines and audit rights.
-
We draft and review Data Processing Agreements aligned with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and global frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation.
-
Clear contractual safeguards reduce ambiguity and strengthen enforceability.
Continuous Monitoring & Performance Oversight
Assurance That Doesn’t End at Onboarding
-
Vendor risk is dynamic. Controls that exist today may weaken tomorrow.
-
We implement monitoring mechanisms that include periodic reassessments, certification reviews, security posture checks and compliance reporting. Escalation frameworks ensure that deficiencies are addressed promptly.
-
Supplier assurance becomes ongoing—not one-time
Incident & Breach Coordination
Prepared for Third-Party Failures
-
When a vendor experiences a breach, response speed and coordination are critical.
-
We establish incident notification protocols, response playbooks and regulatory communication pathways to ensure rapid containment and legal compliance. Vendor incidents are integrated into your broader incident response strategy.
-
Preparedness limits damage.
