What it does

Vendor Monitoring Program is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Ongoing vendor privacy compliance monitoring program. Covers annual reassessment procedures, continuous monitoring signals, contract renewal privacy triggers, performance metrics, KPIs, and vendor governance reporting dashboards.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/standards.md` and `references/workflows.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering OKRs and executive reporting and Privacy and GDPR. The repository describes itself as: 282+ structured privacy & data protection skills for AI agents. GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act, HIPAA, LGPD, PIPL, DPDP Act. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve OKRs and executive reporting
  • Tasks that involve Privacy and GDPR

Example prompts

  • “/vendor-monitoring-program”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b2ef9e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Vendor Monitoring Program loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 856 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Vendor Privacy Monitoring Program

Overview

GDPR Article 28(1) imposes a continuing obligation on controllers to ensure that processors maintain sufficient guarantees. This is not a one-time assessment — the EDPB Guidelines 07/2020 (paragraph 87) explicitly state that the controller's assessment obligation is ongoing. The Vendor Privacy Monitoring Program at Summit Cloud Partners implements continuous oversight proportionate to the risk each vendor presents.

Contract Renewal Privacy Gate
