Supplier Assessment Framework

You focus on assessing suppliers, we’ll take care of the framework.

Our standardised framework allows you to easily compare/benchmark your suppliers, stay on top of existing/incoming regulations and focus your attention on ensuring your companies’ data is being looked after. The framework is updated every 6 months to account for any recent developments in the security landscape so you can be confident you’re asking the right questions to suppliers.

Security Risks

Security is at the heart of Risk Ledger's Supplier Assessment Framework. We cover compliance with key security certifications, ensure all relevant company policies are in place, check that major data protection legislation is being followed and explore technical controls for corporate networks, cloud environments and secure software development.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Risk Ledger's Supplier Assessment Framework also covers a range of non-security risks that a third-party may pose. This includes how your organisation manages and governs its environmental and social impact. It includes checks covering financial stability and looks for policies covering health & safety, the environment and whistleblowing. It also checks that human rights regulations are being followed and that diversity & inclusion commitments are documented.

Financial Risk

Financial Controls to prevent, identify, and respond to evidence of financial crime are also included in Risk Ledger's Supplier Assessment Framework. This includes checks for compliance with relevant Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, applicable Anti-Bribery and Corruption (AB&C) legislation, fraud prevention and sanctions.
