AI Vendor Assessment for CH

A three-artifact deliverable: an Executive Summary Word document for sign-off (recommendation, top risk flags, top strengths, sign-off block), a 30-question scored Excel workbook with auto-summing category totals and an Evidence Request List tab, and a companion Procurement Checklist with foundational readiness items. Aligned to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Annex A or the NIST AI Risk Management Framework — your choice at form time.

How the AI Vendor Assessment approaches this

You describe the vendor (name and product or service) and your organisation's context — jurisdiction, industry, staff size, risk appetite — and choose your alignment framework: ISO/IEC 42001:2023, NIST AI RMF, or both. The tool produces a structured, evidence-based assessment ready to hand to your procurement, legal, and information-security teams.

The Executive Summary Word document is a one-page sign-off artifact — recommendation (Approved / Conditional / Rejected), top three risk flags, top three strengths, sign-off block. The detailed Excel workbook is the working assessment instrument: 30 questions across six weighted categories, with evidence guidance, regulatory call-outs, and an auto-summing scoring sheet. Both are AI-assisted drafting aids intended to accelerate review by qualified practitioners.

What you get

  • Four deliverables, three jobs: Executive Summary (.docx) for board sign-off, Detailed Workbook (.xlsx) for the working scoring (with the Evidence Request List on a dedicated tab inside it), Procurement Checklist (.xlsx) for foundational readiness — no overlap, no confusion.
  • Aligned to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Annex A or NIST AI Risk Management Framework — your choice. Every question carries the framework reference and (where applicable) jurisdiction-critical regulatory call-outs.
  • Excel formulas auto-sum each category total, calculate the weighted overall percentage, and surface Pass / Conditional / Reject thresholds — procurement teams don't have to re-key or re-calculate.
  • Tailored to the vendor's product category, your industry, jurisdiction, and organisation size — not a generic checklist. Designed for review and sign-off by qualified procurement, legal, or information-security practitioners.
