Businesses today rely heavily on third-party vendors for software, cloud services, data processing, and operational support. Each external vendor introduces potential risks related to data privacy, cybersecurity, financial stability, and regulatory compliance. Our Vendor Risk Review service helps NRIs, U.S. clients, and global businesses evaluate these vendors through structured questionnaires, documentation analysis, and risk-based scoring.

At Your Legal Assistant, our India-based paralegal team prepares and organizes vendor due-diligence questionnaires, collects relevant documents, and drafts detailed risk evaluation reports. These reports are designed to support internal decision-making and provide clear inputs for your licensed attorney or compliance officer.

How We Help You with Vendor Risk Review

1. Vendor Due-Diligence Questionnaire (DDQ) Preparation: We draft customized questionnaires to assess the vendor’s data handling, privacy practices, cybersecurity measures, operational controls, and regulatory compliance.
2. Document Review & Evidence Collection: Our team collects policies, certifications, audit reports, and responses provided by the vendor. We review and organize all materials to identify inconsistencies, information gaps, or compliance red flags.
3. Risk Analysis & Scoring: We evaluate the vendor using a structured scoring model based on factors such as data sensitivity, access permissions, encryption standards, breach history, business continuity, and regulatory alignment.
4. Complete Vendor Risk Report: All findings are documented in a detailed report that highlights risk areas, compliance gaps, and information inconsistencies. This report helps your internal team or legal counsel decide whether to onboard, continue, or remediate the vendor relationship.
