Contract Compliance Assessment on Your Vendor

A well-written vendor contract is absolutely essential to helping protect your organization and your customers.

A contract that fails to clearly identify what each party’s role is and what each area is responsible for is a contract that is going to cause problems somewhere in the relationship. Good contracts are well written, thorough, actionable and agreed upon.

Regulations require that contracts contain key provisions, such as confidentiality, service level agreements and mutual rights and responsibilities. It takes people who understand the regulations and other guidance to analyze contracts for potential omissions.
