What you’ll learn

  1. Bound the questionOpen a vendor risk decision with a testable boundary, a precise trigger, and separate tracks for ops, contract, and insurance.A slogan status is not a decision — scope, owner, and unknowns come first.
  2. Index the evidenceGive each material claim a source, owner, confidence label, and provenance path; verify vendor remediation instead of trusting promises.Polished summaries lose to indexed evidence; FTC guidance treats vendor fix claims as something to verify.
  3. Connect consequenceReconcile security evidence to customs work, keep contract and insurance decisions separate, and meet the 72-hour CBP SOC notice duty when broker records are breached.Operational harm, clause evidence, and claim files share facts but not authority.
  4. Decide and keep watchLink evidence to a proportionate outcome, match approval to consequence, and close with monitoring, version history, and reopen triggers.Closure is a monitored commitment with named people who can still act.

Questions this course answers

What should appear first in a vendor risk decision record?

A clear boundary tells the reader what the decision does and does not answer before conclusions pile up.

According to the FTC’s data-breach guide, what should a business do when a service provider says vulnerabilities were fixed?

The FTC tells businesses to examine service-provider access and to verify claimed remediation — not to treat a vendor promise as proof.

Under 19 CFR 111.21(b), how soon must a U.S. customs broker notify CBP SOC of a known breach of records relating to the broker’s customs business?

19 CFR 111.21(b) requires electronic notice to CBP SOC within 72 hours of discovery, including known compromised importer IDs.

Put a defensible vendor risk decision record in order.

Boundary, evidence, consequence, decision, and watch keep the file reconstructable.

How should contract and insurance material be used in the decision record?

Contract duties, claim handling, and operational safety may share facts but answer different questions.
