Run Phase Compliance Plan

Our Run Phase Compliance Plan for Vendors provides you with the tools to ensure that your external suppliers uphold the necessary standards to protect your business and maintain compliance, with the flexibility to include additional oversight as needed.

Managing vendor compliance throughout the duration of a contract is vital to ensuring your organization’s standards for data protection, service delivery, and regulatory adherence are consistently met. ART25 Consulting’s Run Phase Compliance Plan for Vendors provides a structured framework that ensures your external suppliers continuously adhere to the required standards, while offering optional ongoing reviews and audits to further enhance compliance.

Our Approach

Governance Structure Development

  • Tailored Governance Framework: We collaborate with your organization to design a governance structure that aligns with the specific requirements of your contracts. This framework establishes clear roles, responsibilities, and processes that promote continuous vendor compliance.

  • Meeting Cadence and Structure: We recommend the optimal frequency and structure for meetings between your organization and the vendor, ensuring that critical areas—such as compliance, service delivery, and strategic objectives—are regularly discussed.

Pre-Planned Meeting Agendas

  • Agenda Development: We provide guidance on creating detailed, pre-planned meeting agendas that focus on essential compliance topics. These agendas ensure that each meeting is purposeful, addressing critical issues such as contract adherence, performance metrics, and emerging risks.

  • Contractual Alignment: The agendas are designed to align with the obligations outlined in the contract, keeping both parties focused on maintaining compliance throughout the partnership.

Optional Reviews and Audits

  • Periodic Compliance Reviews: For organizations seeking additional assurance, we offer optional scheduled compliance reviews to assess the vendor’s adherence to your standards and regulatory requirements.

  • Third-Party Audits: We also provide the option of coordinating independent third-party audits at key intervals during the contract, offering an objective evaluation of the vendor’s compliance posture.

  • Comprehensive Reporting: Whether you choose to include reviews and audits or not, we can advise on producing detailed reports that document any findings, actions taken, and adjustments made to the compliance plan.
