Separate cyber posture from relationship risk
External cyber posture can inform a review, but business-context relationship risk also depends on the services provided, information accessed and operations that rely on the supplier.
Connect evidence to the decision
Bring supplier assertions, supporting documents, assessment findings and relevant external posture into the governed relationship. Keep collaboration permission-scoped and traceable.
Own remediation through the lifecycle
A score does not close a gap. Assign an owner, remediation action and review date, then validate the evidence before renewal, acceptance or offboarding decisions.
