This vendor due diligence checklist template gives procurement, compliance, and risk management teams a structured workflow to assess third party vendors efficiently.
Instead of collecting information over email, scattered spreadsheets, or incomplete questionnaires, the template centralizes all vendor documentation, security evidence, and risk indicators in a single, trackable process.
Once added to Clustdoc, it becomes a repeatable due diligence workflow that helps your teams review potential vendors, document findings, and maintain a clear audit trail throughout the vendor due diligence process.
Our workflow template organizes all the information required to conduct a consistent vendor due diligence review.
It guides vendors through a clear, step-by-step process to provide essential company details, operational information, compliance history, contractual documents, liability coverage, financial health indicators, and security-related evidence.
For your internal teams, it ensures that every due diligence checklist item is captured in a standardized way, reducing manual effort and avoiding the inconsistencies that often occur when evaluating potential vendors.
Data protection and security posture are central to any vendor relationship.
With this Clustdoc template, you’ll help your teams collect and review data security and information security documentation directly within the workflow.
Vendors can submit security practices, incident response plans, compliance certificates, data breach history, encryption standards, and details about how they handle confidential or sensitive data.
By structuring these elements into a single workflow, you gain clarity on the vendor’s ability to protect your organization’s information and align with your security requirements.
Our vendor due diligence checklist template also includes a dedicated section for reviewing due diligence and reputational risk indicators.
Vendors can provide details about ongoing or past lawsuits, regulatory compliance history, governance practices, employee practices, and any issues that may influence their risk profile.
Centralizing these details ensures that your team evaluates background information consistently and avoids overlooking factors that could expose the organization to financial, operational, or reputational risk.
The workflow maintains all entries, supporting documentation, and review notes in an auditable format.
To support thorough vendor risk assessments, this Clustdoc workflow structures the review of operational risk, financial stability, business operations, and contractual obligations.
Vendors can submit information about their internal policies, service delivery practices, liability insurance, subcontractors, financial health, and the overall maturity of their vendor management program.
This structured approach allows your teams to assess the vendor’s operations and compliance posture without missing any critical steps in the vendor due diligence process.
The final section of the template focuses on helping your teams perform vendor reviews by streamlining the process of collecting vendor information, diligence data, and responses to both diligence questionnaire and due diligence questionnaire requirements.
