For your role

    Procurement and vendor management

    Practical guidance for the decision, evidence and service this role owns.

    The question

    “Have our critical suppliers told us their post-quantum plans?”

    Send a consistent evidence request, apply the 60-day response clock, assess adequacy and assign every missing or weak response to an exception owner.

    Why it is urgent for this role

    A migration plan can stall on products, platforms and service providers outside your control. QCI-QS1 gate G70 therefore requires attestations covering critical suppliers before a score can move beyond 70.

    Supplier Attestation Round. We send the requests, run the 60-day clock and score responses.

    Sample deliverable

    Illustrative vendor oversight report showing the information structure a client would receive
    Vendor oversight report. Attestation status by supplier, adequacy scoring and the exception register. This illustration shows the format only; it is not client evidence.

    What if a supplier does not respond?

    The absence is recorded, escalated and assigned to an exception owner. It is not treated as evidence of readiness.
