vendor-risk-review

vendor-risk-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/cat-agent-skills. It costs 176 tokens per session (2,046 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A vendor-control review that examines SOC 2 reports, security questionnaires, contracts, and public research against guidance for managing third parties. It highlights coverage, exceptions, customer responsibilities, remaining risks, and unanswered questions without making an approval decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a vendor's SOC 2 report, questionnaire, contract, CUECs (controls the customer must operate), exceptions, subcontractors, public findings, and follow-up questions.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers see what vendor evidence actually covers and where evidence is missing or limited. It keeps fact-finding separate from the human decision to rate or approve the vendor.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vendor-risk-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/lint_deliverable.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scope

Do: review vendor SOC 2 reports, DDQs, contracts, CUECs, exceptions, subservice organizations, residual risks, public research, and vendor questions Do not: issue a risk rating, score, tier, or approval decision, paraphrase the opinion, treat out-of-scope criteria or carve-outs as covered, mark CUECs adopted without evidence, send anything to the vendor

When NOT to Use

  • Researching a customer or beneficial owner — use kyc-research-pack instead.
  • Triaging a regulatory change — use reg-change-triage instead.
  • Formatting, charting, or restyling an existing workbook — use xlsx instead.

Third-Party / Vendor Risk Review

Read the report properly, surface what it does and does not cover, and hand a reviewer the open questions.

No risk rating. No tier. No approval or rejection. Those are the third-party risk owner's determinations — house-rules.md § 2.

Framework: the interagency guidance on third-party relationships (OCC Bulletin 2023-17 and its interagency counterparts), which rescinded OCC 2013-29 and 2020-10.

Read first

Read these in full before step 1. They are binding; this body only summarises them.

  • references/workflow.md — the full text of every step below, with the guardrails, source resolution, and footer detail.
  • references/house-rules.md — destination gate, determination gate, identity resolution, markers, footers, and § 12 data minimisation (every artifact, search, and chat reply).
  • references/reg-source-access.md — retrieving rules and guidance the review cites.
  • references/document-extraction.md § 4 — SOC 2 extraction. The field list there is mandatory.
  • references/vendor-outline.md — default memo and exceptions table: the output format.
  • references/self-check.md — the final self-check (step 9).

Workflow

1. Establish what you were given

Detail: workflow.md § 1. A "SOC 2" is often something else. Type II → proceed. Type I → design at a point in time only, flagged. SOC 3 → no exceptions or CUECs. Bridge letter → management's unaudited assertion. ISO certificate → a different framework. DDQ → self-reported and untested. Marketing summary → GAP — supplied document is a summary, not the report. Scanned reports are read with OCR.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
