ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT
Why Supply Chain Due Diligence Starts With Knowing Your Level
The pre-assessment considers your scope, current controls, and supply chain due diligence position to recommend the most appropriate VECTRA assessment pathway.
In this short video, Patrick Neyts, Founder & CEO of VECTRA International, explains how supply-chain risk and resilience shape the way we assess and support organizations.
What the assessment reveals
See Where Risk Is Exposed and Where Controls Fall Short
Where an organization operates and what sector it works in say something about its inherent risk. It does not show how well that risk is being managed.
VECTRA’s SCDD Maturity Risk Assessment looks at three things:
- 01Inherent Risk
- 02Control System Maturity
- 03Residual Risk
This maturity assessment shows how strong your controls are and where gaps remain.

What to expect
What Happens During the Pre-Assessment
The pre-assessment helps identify the level of SCDD assessment your organization may need, without requiring you to complete the full assessment first.
-
01
Answer 14 Focused Questions
Provide information about areas such as governance, supply-chain visibility, supplier controls, monitoring, and the reason for the assessment.
-
02
See Your Recommended Assessment Level
Your responses indicate whether Level 1, 2, or 3 is the right starting point. Most organizations begin at Level 1, and Level 2 or 3 needs often become clear from those results. The result is a recommendation, not a detailed maturity score.
-
03
Continue to the Recommended Assessment
If Level 1 is recommended, you can proceed straight to purchase. Once payment is confirmed, VECTRA sends an enrollment key by email so you can begin the assessment.
If Level 2 or Level 3 is recommended, you’ll speak with VECTRA about the scope, evidence, and support required — these engagements are scoped individually.

TechVenture Startups
“When we were preparing for Series B funding, investors had concerns about our data security practices. Dr. Mitchell and her team conducted a comprehensive risk audit and helped us implement enterprise-grade security protocols. Not only did we close the funding round successfully, but we also discovered and fixed vulnerabilities that could have cost us millions down the line.”
Sarah Johnson, CEO
Global Retail Solutions
“Our company was expanding into emerging markets, and we had no idea what risks we were walking into. Michael Chen personally visited our proposed locations and identified regulatory, political, and operational risks we never considered. His insights saved us from making a costly mistake in one region and helped us successfully launch in two others.”
Robert Martinez, Operations Director
Heritage Insurance Group
“After a ransomware attack hit our competitor, we realized we were vulnerable. Vectra International performed a full security assessment and found gaps in our backup systems, employee training, and incident response plans. They helped us build a robust defense strategy. When we faced an attempted breach last year, our systems held strong—we stopped it before any data was compromised.”

Questions About the SCDD Pre-Assessment
Screening, not diagnosisYour detailed findings come from the full assessment.
How long does the pre-assessment take?
About 5 minutes. It contains 14 focused questions designed to identify the most appropriate next step, not reproduce the full assessment.
Who should complete it?
The pre-assessment is intended for people responsible for areas such as supply chain due diligence, procurement, compliance, sustainability, supplier management, risk, or operational oversight.
You do not need to be a risk specialist to complete it.
Will I receive a detailed maturity score?
No. The pre-assessment recommends the most appropriate Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assessment pathway.
Detailed maturity scoring, findings, and recommendations come from the full SCDD Maturity Risk Assessment.
What happens after I submit?
Your responses are used to recommend the assessment level that best matches your organization’s current position and needs.
If Level 1 is recommended, you can proceed directly to payment. Once payment is confirmed, our team sends an enrollment key by email so you can start the assessment.
If Level 2 or Level 3 is recommended, you’ll be directed to schedule a scoping conversation with VECTRA, since these engagements are defined individually.
Can colleagues help me complete the full assessment?
Yes. Once you begin the full assessment, the main respondent can invite colleagues as co-respondents to help answer questions.
Only the main respondent can finalize and submit it — once submitted, the assessment is locked and your reports are generated automatically.
Can I complete this on behalf of another company, such as a supplier or portfolio company?
Yes. Buyers, investors, and private equity firms often purchase the assessment on behalf of the companies they want assessed — for example, a supplier or a portfolio company. In these cases, the paying company and the responding company can be different, and VECTRA coordinates enrollment directly with the company completing the assessment.
Is pricing shown immediately?
Level 2 and Level 3 are scoped individually and route to a consultation with VECTRA, since pricing and required agreements vary by engagement. The final Level 1 pricing and display approach remain subject to approval.
How will my information be used?
The information you provide is used to process your responses, recommend an assessment pathway, and support any follow-up you request.

Is a supplier risk assessment the same as a vendor risk assessment?
The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but their scope can differ. A vendor risk assessment may cover areas such as technology, cybersecurity, financial exposure, or service continuity.
VECTRA’s assessment focuses on supplier and supply chain due diligence, including inherent risk, control maturity, and the residual risk that remains.
Do I need a supplier risk assessment checklist before starting?
No. You do not need to prepare a supplier risk assessment checklist before completing the pre-assessment. The 14 questions are designed to identify your current position and recommend the appropriate assessment level. Any deeper information or evidence needed will depend on the assessment pathway that follows.
