Vendor Partner Questionnaire as Electronic Form
Comes as MS Word Electronic form and a PDF - delivered electronically
When a disaster or business interruption event occurs, most companies have a plans on how to resume operations. However, if the event is a large scale one that covers an extensive area then other suppliers and partners may be impacted as well.
It is prudent for the Disaster Recovery Business Continuity team to understand how quickly vendors and partners in the are will be able to be operational. What good does it do your business if you are operational but partners and vendors you depend on are not?
The vendor partner questionnaire is an electronic form that you can have them fill out before an event occurs. After reviewing what they provide, the DR/BC team should be in a position to identify alternative vendors and recommendations to both vendors and partners what they need to do in order to be able to work with you when an event occurs.
The Vendor Partner Questionnaire provides an easy way to gather the necessary information. Included are:
- Vendor/Partner DR/BC Primary and Secondary Contact Information
- Vendor/Partner DR/BC Strategy
- Vendor/Partner prior activations of DB/BC plan
- Vendor/Partner Crisis Communciation
- Vendor/Partner Backup Facility
- Vendor/Partner Testing Plan
It is too late to address many of these issues after an event has occured. The Disaster Recovery Business Continuity Team can use the information provided to be proactive versus reactive.
The electronic form can be acquired by itself, in the DR/BC form bundle or the IT Infrastructure Forms bundle.
