COBIT 2019 APO10.04: APO10.04 Manage vendor risk

The enterprise identifies and manages risk to whether its vendors, including their subcontractors and upstream vendors, can keep delivering service that is secure, efficient and effective. Contracts cater for possible service risk by setting out service requirements clearly, including escrow agreements, alternative vendors or standby arrangements, and how exit, notice periods and the return of assets and data are handled. Risk that the vendor may fail to deliver efficiently, effectively, securely, confidentially, reliably and without interruption is identified, monitored and managed, and risk from critical vendors is brought into the enterprise risk profile. The vendor's wider ecosystem is assessed so that risk arising from subcontractors and upstream suppliers is identified, monitored and managed.
