Finding

Due diligence should test whether a provider can explain its people, systems, subcontractors, incident path, and continuity evidence for the specific role.

Evidence and method

NIST’s CSF 2.0 supplier guide recommends communicating and operating supply-chain risk requirements. World Bank research shows why digital access and continuity matter in Philippine operations.

Evidence map

Request role-specific access diagrams, named control owners, device standards, incident contacts, backup coverage, and a sample review record. Treat unsupported assurances as open questions.

Key takeaways

Compare evidence to the work actually being delegated. Keep legal, payment, customer-promise, and policy authority with the authorized client owner.

FAQs

Is a large provider automatically safer? No; fit and evidence matter more than a label. Should every document be collected? Request only material evidence needed for the decision.
