Know whether third parties are meeting the standards you expect.
Use RetailHawk to run recurring supplier or partner assessments as controlled programmes, with a fixed questionnaire for each cycle, supported evidence, independent review and released results you can compare over time.
Apply the same programme discipline to third-party assessments.
RetailHawk does not vouch for or certify suppliers. It gives your team a controlled way to collect and review the evidence against the framework you define.
Assessment cycles
Run recurring cycles with clear opening, closing and due dates around the third parties in scope.
Evidence-backed answers
Capture supported image or PDF evidence alongside structured questionnaire answers.
Independent review
Approve, return or reject submissions separately from the person who completed the assessment.
Apply the model to the third-party questions you own.
Keep the assessment scope explicit and avoid turning self-declaration into an unreviewed spreadsheet archive.
Data-processing partners
Assess policy evidence, training dates and other controls defined by your own privacy or security framework.
Outsourced services
Combine desk-based assessment with authorised on-site or mystery-shopping work where the service needs real-world observation.
Technology vendors
Review the documents, dates and controls your framework asks for, with evidence kept against the exact assessment version used for the cycle.
Multi-tier supplier networks
Group assessment targets using your configured hierarchy so programme owners can compare released results by the categories or regions they operate.
From scope to comparable released result.
A synthetic portfolio can show a common questionnaire used across several third parties, evidence attached to answers, reviewer decisions and released scores compared between cycles.
1. Scope
Define the third parties and assessment targets included in the programme.
2. Assess
Complete the fixed questionnaire and attach supported evidence.
3. Review & compare
Release only approved results and compare them using the reporting dimensions configured for the programme.
Compare reviewed outcomes without inventing a supplier-risk engine.
The example below uses synthetic suppliers and only states already supported workflow outcomes. Group or tier is a configured reporting hierarchy, not a dedicated inherent-risk classification, and recurring cycles are configured by programme managers rather than scheduled automatically.
| Supplier | Configured group | Released score | Review state | Next programme cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier A | Data processor | 91% | Released | Q1 review |
| Supplier B | Outsourced service | 78% | Released | Q1 review |
| Supplier C | Technology vendor | — | Returned for evidence | After correction |
| Supplier D | Regional subcontractor | — | Awaiting review | After review |
Scores are synthetic examples of released weighted questionnaire results. RetailHawk does not assign supplier risk ratings, certify suppliers or provide a supplier self-service portal.
Add authorised site evidence where questionnaires are not enough.
Supply-chain audits
Assess supplier locations against the buyer's own code or control set using structured field evidence.
Evidence & audit trails
See how answers, supported evidence and review decisions stay attached to the result.
Your framework, your supplier decision.
RetailHawk records the evidence and review workflow. Your organisation decides what the findings mean, what action to take and whether a supplier is acceptable.
No supplier certification
The platform does not certify, approve or guarantee a third party.
Controlled client visibility
Client users see released results within their authorised scope.
