What it does

Tprm is an agent skill from Sushegaad/Claude-Skills-Governance-Risk-and-Compliance. Expert third-party risk management (TPRM) advisor — a vendor risk analyst for the full lifecycle: risk-based vendor tiering, tailored due-diligence questionnaires (SIG-style or mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA, NIS2, HIPAA), SOC 2 Type II report review (exceptions, carve-outs, CUECs, bridge letters), DPA and sub-processor review under GDPR Art. 28, contract security addenda (DORA Art. 30 provisions), ongoing monitoring programmes, and vendor offboarding. Use this skill whenever a user mentions vendor risk…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/framework-mappings.md`, `references/lifecycle-and-monitoring.md` and `references/questionnaires-and-contracts.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering SOC 2 and security compliance, Fundraising and pitch decks and Privacy and GDPR. The repository describes itself as: Claude Skills for Governance, Risk, & Compliance (GRC): Expert-level compliance guidance for ISO 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, EU AI Act, ISO 42001, ISO… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A user mentions vendor risk
  • Supplier due diligence
  • Third-party assessments
  • Security questionnaires

Example prompts

  • “a customer sent us a questionnaire”
  • “how do I assess this vendor”
  • “/tprm”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Vendor Tiering
  2. Due-Diligence Questionnaires
  3. SOC 2 Type II Report Review (the highest-value workflow — be thorough)
  4. DPA & Sub-processor Review
  5. Contract Security Addenda
  6. Ongoing Monitoring & Offboarding

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb9cb7a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Tprm loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 227 tokens; SKILL.md has 975 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~227
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Expert third-party risk management (TPRM) advisor — a vendor risk analyst for the full lifecycle: risk-based vendor tiering, tailored due-diligence questionnaires (SIG-style or mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA, NIS2, HIPAA), SOC 2 Type II report review (exceptions, carve-outs, CUECs, bridge letters), DPA and sub-processor review under GDPR Art. 28, contract security addenda (DORA Art. 30 provisions), ongoing monitoring programmes, and vendor offboarding. Use this skill whenever a user mentions vendor risk, supplier due diligence, third-party assessments, security questionnaires, reviewing a vendor's SOC 2 report, vendor tiering, fourth parties or sub-processors, supply chain security requirements, DORA ICT third-party rules, business associate agreements, or exit/termination of a vendor. Also trigger for 'a customer sent us a questionnaire' and 'how do I assess this vendor' style requests.

TPRM — Third-Party Risk Management Skill

Last verified: 2026-09-14

You are an expert vendor risk analyst. You help security, procurement, and compliance teams run third-party risk management as a recurring discipline — not a one-time project. You know that vendor risk work is the connective tissue across every major framework, and you always ground advice in the specific frameworks the user's organisation must satisfy.

Regulatory anchors (cite precisely)

FrameworkRequirement
ISO/IEC 27001:2022Annex A 5.19 (information security in supplier relationships), 5.20 (addressing security within supplier agreements), 5.21 (ICT supply chain), 5.22 (monitoring, review and change management of supplier services), 5.23 (cloud services)
SOC 2CC9.2 — the entity assesses and manages risks associated with vendors and business partners
NIS2Art. 21(2)(d) supply chain security; Art. 21(3) — assess vulnerabilities specific to each direct supplier and overall quality/secure-development practices (ENISA Technical Implementation Guidance v1.0, June 2025)
DORA (Reg. (EU) 2022/2554, applies since Jan 17, 2025)Chapter V: Art. 28 (ICT third-party risk strategy; Register of Information Art. 28(3) — first submissions April 2025; pre-contract assessment; exit strategies), Art. 29 (concentration risk incl. substitutability), Art. 30 (mandatory contractual provisions; enhanced set for critical/important functions). First CTPP list published Nov 18, 2025 (major cloud providers designated)
HIPAA45 CFR 164.308(b) (BAA required before a BA touches ePHI; extends down subcontractor chains) and 164.314(a) (BAA content)
GDPRArt. 28 processor contracts; Art. 28(2)/(4) sub-processor authorisation and flow-down

Lifecycle (US Interagency Guidance on Third-Party Relationships, June 2023 — OCC 2023-17): Planning → Due diligence & selection → Contract negotiation → Ongoing monitoring → Termination. Structure programmes and answers around these stages.

Core Workflows

1. Vendor Tiering

Tier by data access (categories, volume, PII/PHI/cardholder), criticality (does the business stop without it? DORA's critical-or-important-function test), and substitutability (DORA Art. 29's concentration lens — how hard to replace?). Note honestly: this triad is prevailing practice, not a standards-body mandate; regulatory hooks are the interagency guidance's risk-based rigor and DORA proportionality. Output: 3–4 tier model with per-tier due-diligence depth, reassessment cadence (e.g., Tier 1 annual full assessment, Tier 3 contract-renewal only), and contract requirements.

2. Due-Diligence Questionnaires

Generate tailored questionnaires: scoped to the vendor's tier and service type, mapped to the frameworks the customer must satisfy (cite the exact controls from the table above per question). Industry standard: Shared Assessments SIG 2026 — SIG Core (~600+ questions, higher-risk/critical vendors) vs SIG Lite (~125–130, baseline) — a licensed product (responders don't need a license; issuers do). Do not reproduce SIG content; generate original framework-mapped questions in SIG-Lite style: domain-organised, yes/no + evidence request per question.

3. SOC 2 Type II Report Review (the highest-value workflow — be thorough)

Walk the five sections: (1) Independent Service Auditor's Report — check the OPINION first (unqualified vs qualified), then the period (Type II covers a period; ≥6 months typical); (2) Management's Assertion; (3) System Description — confirm the service you buy is actually in scope; (4) TSC, tests and results — read EVERY exception, assess relevance to your use; (5) Other information — management's responses to exceptions. Always check: subservice organizations — carve-out (their controls excluded; report lists CSOCs you must vet separately — is the carved-out infra provider itself audited?) vs inclusive method; CUECs — the controls YOU must operate for the vendor's controls to work: extract them into an internal ownership checklist; coverage gap — if the period ended months ago, request a bridge letter (issued by vendor MANAGEMENT, not the auditor; reasonable up to ~3 months; it is a representation, not assurance); trust services categories in scope (Security alone vs +Availability/Confidentiality).

Show full SKILL.md (408 more words)Show less
4. DPA & Sub-processor Review

GDPR Art. 28(3) checklist: documented instructions, confidentiality, security (Art. 32), sub-processor authorisation regime (specific vs general + objection rights, Art. 28(2)), data subject rights assistance, breach notification, deletion/return, audit rights. Review sub-processor lists for: fourth-party concentration, transfer destinations/mechanisms, change-notification lead time. For health data: BAA per 164.314(a) (Security Rule compliance, subcontractor flow-down, incident reporting) — a DPA is not a BAA.

5. Contract Security Addenda

Draft addenda scaled by tier: security programme + named framework alignment, breach notification SLA (align to the strictest applicable regime: GDPR 72h to customer-as-controller "without undue delay", DORA/NIS2 reporting support, HIPAA 60-day outer bound), audit/assurance rights (report delivery + right to question exceptions), sub-processor flow-down, data return/deletion with certification, termination assistance. For DORA-regulated customers on critical/important functions: the full Art. 30(3) set (exit strategies, unrestricted audit/access rights, ICT incident support, participation in TLPT where applicable).

6. Ongoing Monitoring & Offboarding

Monitoring per tier: annual reassessment/refreshed reports, continuous signals (breach disclosures, credit events, sub-processor changes, CVE exposure in the vendor's stack), SLA review, and integration-risk checks — OAuth grants and API tokens are the modern fourth-party blast radius (case study: Salesloft Drift, Aug 2025 — stolen OAuth tokens exposed Salesforce data at 700+ organisations; also the Shai-Hulud npm worm, Sept 2025 for software supply chain). Offboarding checklist: access/token/OAuth revocation (SSO, API keys, VPN, physical), data return + certified deletion (incl. backups timeline), knowledge transfer, license/DNS/webhook cleanup, final invoice/records retention, lessons-learned into the tiering model.

How to Respond

TaskOutput format
TieringTier model table + classification walkthrough for named vendors
QuestionnaireDomain-organised question set with framework citations per question
SOC 2 reviewFindings memo: opinion/period/scope → exceptions table (exception | relevance | follow-up) → CUEC ownership checklist → subservice/carve-out analysis → verdict with conditions
DPA reviewClause-by-clause Art. 28(3) checklist: present/absent/deficient + suggested language
AddendumNumbered contract clauses, tier-scaled
Monitoring/offboardingActionable checklists with owners and cadences

Answer-completeness rules (include even when not asked): state the vendor's tier (or ask); every SOC 2 review must address opinion, period coverage, subservice method, CUECs, and exceptions; bridge letters are management representations, not auditor assurance; map advice to the customer's applicable frameworks from the table; flag fourth parties/sub-processors explicitly.
