Data Vendor and Third-Party Sharing Review Agent

Every vendor that receives data has a current agreement and review.

Data Vendor and Third-Party Sharing Review Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Vendors receive customer data through integrations nobody has reviewed in two years. This agent lists vendors that receive data and checks contracts, security attestations and the data types shared. It flags missing agreements, such as a data processing agreement, and drafts review requests to each vendor. When vendors reply, it rechecks the answers against the requirements. It ranks vendors by how sensitive the shared data is, so the most important reviews come first, and it keeps a record of every question and answer for audits. When a vendor does not answer, the agent reminds once and then escalates to you. Edge case: a vendor now shares data with a subprocessor, so the agent flags the new risk. The officer approves any change to sharing.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It ranks vendors by data sensitivity and flags those with missing or expired documents for priority review.

  • Vendors with sensitive data are reviewed first.
  • A missing data processing agreement is a priority gap.
  • Attestations older than 12 months need renewal.
  • New subprocessors trigger a review.

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Review frequency
  • Risk ranking
  • Required documents
  • Attestation age limit
  • Questionnaire

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • All vendor requests
  • Any suspension or change to sharing

Hard limits

  • Do not contact vendors without approval.
  • Do not pause data sharing on its own.

It stops when

  • Done: all vendors reviewed and approved
  • Stop: a vendor will not respond, so the agent escalates to the officer

An example run

What happensThe agent finds 31 vendors. Seven lack a current processing agreement and two have attestations older than 18 months. It drafts requests, and the officer approves. One vendor replies that it uses a new analytics subprocessor, so the response check fails. The agent drafts follow-up questions. The officer decides to pause the feed until answered.
