Vendor governance maturity assessment

Score six parts of your vendor lifecycle, see your current maturity level, and leave with one concrete first action. Your answers stay in this browser.

Score your current process

Choose the statement that best describes how each area works today. This is a planning rubric, not a certification.

Accountability for the relationship and its controls
A complete record of services, data, tier, dates, and status
Checks and evidence matched to vendor criticality
Required clauses, approvals, and exceptions
Scheduled and event-driven reviews with follow-up
Access, data, assets, and closure evidence

How the score works

Each area scores from 0 to 3, for a maximum of 18. Scores of 0–5 are Ad hoc, 6–10 are Developing, 11–14 are Managed, and 15–18 are Measured. Your first priority is the lowest-scoring area; ties follow the vendor lifecycle from ownership through offboarding.

What to do next

Use the result to choose a 30-day improvement, assign an accountable person, and decide what evidence will prove completion. Read the vendor governance framework guide for roles, lifecycle gates, and measures.
