A Practical Supplier Due Diligence Workflow
A structured supplier due diligence process for risk review, evidence collection, approvals, remediation and ongoing monitoring.
Define the trigger and risk scope
Due diligence should start with a clear business trigger: onboarding, annual review, buyer requirement, sourcing change or regulatory obligation.
Collect the minimum defensible evidence
Request only the documents and data needed for the identified risk areas, then preserve the source and review history.
Route exceptions instead of treating all suppliers equally
High-risk findings should create remediation tasks and approval workflows while low-risk suppliers move through a lighter process.
Keep the record reusable
The output should remain connected to supplier master data so the same evidence can support buyer requests and future reviews.
