Understand your ICT procurement risk
Understand your ICT procurement risk context in a few minutes, surface the risks most likely to be relevant, and connect with the right experts to decide your next steps.
Who should use this tool?
This questionnaire will help you identify gaps in your risk management approach early and highlight where expert input may be needed. This tool is helpful if you are:
- planning, sourcing or managing an ICT or digital procurement
- checking whether existing assessments cover the right risk areas
- unsure which risk areas or subject-matter experts need to be considered
- preparing for procurement, assurance or governance discussions
How the screening runs
Completed assessments
Record the assessments you already hold — a privacy impact assessment, an architecture review — and the screening stops asking what they already answer.
Your procurement
What you are buying, roughly what it is worth, and how the decision is being governed.
The deeper dive
More detailed questions across five areas, one step each, minus the areas your existing assessments already cover.
What you take away
Confirm the risks that apply, then leave with who to engage and when, your risk profile as a PDF, and a supplier security question set scoped to the risks you confirmed.
How to use this tool
This questionnaire is a risk screening tool for ICT and digital buying projects. It helps buyers understand their project context, identify relevant risk domains and engage the right subject-matter experts early.
Answer each question based on your understanding of the procurement. A Yes or Unsure response may indicate a potential risk, gap or area requiring further investigation. Your risk profile will suggest subject-matter experts who can help during planning, sourcing and managing the engagement.
