Verifytheactualcomplianceofyoursuppliers
A self-assessment questionnaire isn't always enough. For your strategic third parties — those with a direct impact on business continuity or data security — you need to verify the evidence. That's the role of a Conitiv compliance audit.
Scoring + questionnaires + compliance audit = complete control
Automated scoring covers 100% of your third parties. Compliance questionnaires deepen the assessment of your critical third parties. But for your strategic suppliers — Class A third parties — those whose failure would jeopardize your business, your data, or your compliance, a third layer of control is necessary.
The Conitiv compliance audit is conducted by our expert partners, PASSI-qualified, who verify through documentation the reality of the security and compliance measures declared by the third party. It's no longer about collecting self-declared data, but about validating evidence.
This level of rigor meets the strictest obligations for third-party management: NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, GDPR. It is the final step in Conitiv's third-party risk management framework.
Au-delà de la collecte documentaire et des questionnaires déclaratifs, les audits probants réalisés par des consultants permettent de vérifier sur le terrain la réalité des engagements fournisseurs.
Operational methodology
Three pillars for rigorous and targeted verification of your strategic suppliers.
Human expertise
Audits are conducted by our expert partners in cybersecurity (PASSI-qualified) and regulatory compliance. This qualification, issued by ANSSI, guarantees a level of expertise recognized by regulatory authorities and the most demanding organizations.
Human intervention goes beyond self-declarations, asking the right questions and detecting inconsistencies or blind spots that only an expert eye can identify.
Document-based verification
The audit is based on rigorous analysis of evidence provided by the third party: security policies, certifications, technical reports, network architecture diagrams, application mappings, and asset inventories (CMDB).
Each document is examined to validate the reality of existing measures. Evidence is collected through the Conitiv platform in a secure environment with exchange tracking.
Targeted approach
The audit doesn't start from scratch. It focuses on risk areas identified during the initial screening or compliance questionnaire responses.
This targeted approach optimizes audit time and focuses on identified gaps, incomplete answers, areas of insufficient maturity, or critical risks detected by the scoring.
What you receive
Each compliance audit produces three immediately actionable deliverables.
Detailed audit report
Each control point is assessed and scored, with auditor comments and supporting evidence. The report covers the entire audited framework and produces an overall compliance rating for the third party.
Corrective action plan
Identified gaps are formalized in a concrete action plan with prioritization, deadlines, and responsibilities. This plan is shared directly with the third party via the platform for tracking.
Management indicators
The audit generates indicators to measure the evolution of the third party's maturity level over time, feeding your third-party risk management dashboards.
Where compliance audits fit in the Conitiv framework
Each level builds on the previous one. The compliance audit leverages scoring and questionnaire results to target its intervention and maximize added value.
