Review vendor security questionnaires, procurement security notes, SOC2 summaries, DPA excerpts, subprocessor lists, security answer drafts, or risk-review packets for missing coverage, weak evidence, follow-up questions, and human-review risks. Use when Codex needs to prepare a vendor security review without making legal, compliance, or approval decisions.

Vendor Security Review
Workflow
- Identify vendor, product, data involved, intended use, review stage, and source documents.
- Check coverage for security, privacy, data handling, access control, auditability, and contractual evidence.
- Separate supplied evidence from vendor claims, assumptions, missing answers, and review questions.
- Flag gaps, weak answers, risks, and required human review.
- Produce a concise review packet for security, legal, procurement, or business owners.
Script-Assisted Workflow
When given a questionnaire or answer draft, run scripts/check_vendor_security_answers.py --input <path> first. Use --json for structured coverage output. The helper detects missing topic coverage and weak answers; it does not approve vendors or provide legal/security certification.
Output Standard
Use this structure by default:
- Review Summary: vendor, product, intended use, data sensitivity, and readiness.
- Coverage Check: SOC2, DPA, subprocessors, retention, breach notification, encryption, SSO, and audit logs.
- Evidence Gaps: missing or weak answers with source excerpts.
- Risk Questions: security, privacy, legal, procurement, and business-owner follow-ups.
- Recommended Next Steps: review actions and owners when stated.
- Human Review Required: approvals, exceptions, legal terms, or risk acceptance.
- Caveats: non-inferred approvals and source limitations.
Rules
- Do not approve vendors, accept risk, provide legal advice, or certify compliance.
- Do not invent SOC2 status, DPA terms, subprocessors, encryption controls, SSO support, or breach-notification terms.
- Mark missing answers as missing, not failed, unless the source explicitly says a control is absent.
- Treat customer, employee, health, financial, or regulated data as requiring human review.
