Vendor Management Policy

I can't seem to find a Vendor Management Policy in the ISO 27001 Documentation Toolkit. Am I just missing it? Or, is there simply no such policy in the Toolkit?

Answer: Regarding suppliers, ISO 27001 has a control that requires the definition of requirements for mitigating the risks associated with a supplier’s access to the organization’s assets, which does not require to describe detailed practices. This control is covered by template "Supplier Security Policy" that can be found at folder 08 Annex A A.15 Supplier relationships.

If you need detailed rules about how a supplier should behave, you can use the "Security Clauses for Suppliers and Partners" template, located at folder 08 Annex A A.15 Supplier relationships to define the rules you want your vendors to follow.
