Complete supplier assurance

Purpose and scope

Evaluate Obedience as a supplier using current, attributable evidence and a clear distinction between public and restricted material.

Use this guide as orientation, then rely on the signed agreement, current policy or named support response where those sources set a more specific obligation.

Prepare the right information

• The assessment scope and deadline.
• Required control or policy references.
• A secure channel for restricted questions.

Follow the controlled process

1. Frame the needState the desired outcome, affected product and accountable contact. For complete supplier assurance, avoid assumptions that have not been confirmed in writing.
2. Review and decideUse the current governed source, record material questions and obtain approval from the person who owns the decision.
3. Retain evidenceKeep the final reference, date, decision and any follow-up action together so a later reviewer can reconstruct what happened.

Expected record

• Completed assurance responses.
• Evidence references and review dates.
• Accepted risks or follow-up actions.

Security and disclosure boundary

• Never send passwords, authentication codes, private keys or recovery codes to Obedience staff.
• Share the minimum customer, project and commercial information needed for the stated purpose.
• Public documentation explains controls and responsibilities without publishing exploitable topology, credentials or confidential implementation detail.
