Technology
Every new vendor touches your data, your systems or your customers.
Technology companies onboard SaaS providers, contractors, hardware suppliers and channel partners at pace. Security review and data protection terms need to be part of onboarding, not a separate queue that nobody can see.
Supplier relationships
Who you onboard, and what you need from them.
Typical suppliers and documentation in technology. In Skuvet these become supplier categories with their own requirements.
Typical suppliers
- SaaS and infrastructure vendors
- Contractors and agencies
- Hardware and component suppliers
- Resellers and channel partners
Information and documents
- Security attestations and questionnaires
- Data processing agreements
- Insurance certificates
- Company, tax and bank details
The challenge
What makes onboarding hard in technology.
Security review runs off to the side
Procurement approves the vendor while the security team works from a separate ticket. Purchase orders go out before the review closes.
Contractor onboarding is informal
Contractors are added quickly to meet a deadline, and their documentation is rarely complete or current.
Reseller and partner data is inconsistent
Channel partners are set up by different teams with different information, which complicates payments and compliance.
How Skuvet applies
An example onboarding workflow.
An illustration of how a technology organisation could configure Skuvet. Stages, checks and approvers are set to your own policies.
Vendors register and provide company, contact and service information.
Security material and contractual documents are collected against the vendor category.
Security and legal reviewers see the items that need their decision, with everything submitted in one place.
Approval is recorded per function, so a vendor is not active until each required owner has signed off.
Products and catalogues
Product onboarding applies to hardware and component suppliers that provide catalogue or specification data, and to marketplaces that list third-party software.
