Task description

Safe termination of critical relationships

The organization should have defined and documented processes for terminating critical relationships with suppliers in both normal and adverse circumstances. Adverse circumstances could include:

  • Data breach or security incident
  • Legal, ethical or regulatory violations
  • Contract breach or service failure

The processes should at least define:

  • How assets containing organization's data are returned or disposed safely and supplier access to organizational resources is removed
  • System continuity and resilience e.g. how dependent operations are kept functional when removing or changing supplier
  • Component end-of-life maintenance support and obsolescence
  • Means to prevent and mitigate data leakage or risks related to data and systems with supplier termination
