Cybersecurity Vendor Evaluation Form

Streamline Your Cybersecurity Vendor Evaluations with Paperform

When your organization's security posture depends on third-party vendors, having a structured evaluation process isn't optional—it's essential. This Cybersecurity Vendor Evaluation Form helps IT security teams, compliance officers, and procurement professionals systematically assess vendor performance across the metrics that matter most: threat detection effectiveness, incident response times, vulnerability assessment quality, and compliance reporting accuracy.

Built for IT departments, MSSPs, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and any enterprise with strict security requirements, this template transforms subjective vendor reviews into data-driven assessments. Instead of scattered feedback in email threads or inconsistent spreadsheets, you get a standardized evaluation framework that makes vendor comparisons, renewal decisions, and performance improvement conversations significantly easier.

Why Use Paperform for Vendor Evaluations?

Paperform's conditional logic lets you tailor follow-up questions based on performance ratings—if a vendor scores poorly on incident response, you can automatically surface additional fields asking for specifics about what went wrong. The calculation engine can automatically compute overall vendor scores weighted across different criteria, giving you instant performance snapshots without manual number-crunching.

Once evaluations are complete, connect this form to Stepper to automate what happens next: route high-performing vendors to renewal workflows, flag underperformers for performance improvement plans, or notify procurement teams when it's time to renegotiate contracts. You can sync vendor scores directly into your vendor management system, update dashboards in Notion or Airtable, or trigger alerts in Slack when critical security metrics fall below acceptable thresholds.

For organizations managing multiple vendors across different security domains, this template provides the consistency and automation needed to maintain vendor accountability while reducing the administrative burden on your security and procurement teams.
