Download the 2026 AI Vendor Due Diligence Checklist.

Interrogate Your Providers. Uncover Hidden Risks. Comply with the EU AI Act.

Your AI Vendor is Your Biggest Risk.

You are building a business on top of OpenAI, Anthropic, or a niche vector database.
But do you know what they are doing with your data?

In 2026, regulators enforce "Supply Chain Liability."
I. If your vendor leaks your customer data, you are liable.
II. If your vendor's model infringes copyright, you get sued.
III. If your vendor's agent goes rogue, you pay the damages.

Standard SaaS questionnaires are obsolete. They don't ask about "Model Collapse" or "Prompt Injection."

The Legal Attorney AI Vendor Due Diligence Checklist (VDDQ) is your interrogation toolkit. It is a massive, 50-point legal inquiry designed to force AI providers to reveal their secrets, warranties, and security flaws before you sign the contract.

What You Get Inside the Kit:

I. The Master 50-Question Protocol (Word)
A comprehensive legal questionnaire covering every aspect of AI risk. It forces vendors to answer "Yes/No" to critical questions about Data Retention, IP Indemnity, and Security.

II. The "Zero Data Retention" Module
Specific questions to verify if the vendor is training on your data. This is the #1 dealbreaker for enterprise clients.

III. The "Copyright & IP" Screen
Does the vendor indemnify you if they get sued by artists or publishers? Questions 7-12 ensure you aren't left holding the bag for their data scraping.

IV. The "Agentic Safety" Section
If you are buying "Agent" capabilities, you need to know about Kill Switches and Budget Caps. This section (Questions 31-35) exposes dangerous autonomous tools.

V. The Regulatory Compliance Check
Direct questions mapping to the EU AI ActNIST RMF, and GDPR. If they can't answer these, they aren't compliant, and neither are you.

Why Founders Need This Specific Template:

I. It Uncovers "Fake" Security
Many vendors claim "Enterprise Security" but lack prompt injection defenses. Questions 19-24 force them to prove they have actual Red Teaming logs.

II. It Speeds Up Enterprise Sales
When your big clients ask you these questions, you can simply pass the answers from your sub-processors. It creates a "Chain of Trust."

III. It Gives You Negotiation Leverage
When a vendor admits they don't have "IP Indemnity" (Question 8), you have the leverage to demand a lower price or a better contract term.

Don't Trust. Verify.

Frequently Asked Questions

I. Will big companies like OpenAI answer this?
They have "Standard Response" packets. However, for Enterprise plans, they must answer specific compliance queries. For smaller vendors, this form is mandatory to ensure they aren't fly-by-night operations.

II. Can I use this for non-AI vendors?
No. This is specifically engineered for Large Language Models, Vector Databases, and Agentic Frameworks. It asks about "Hallucinations" and "Training Data," which don't apply to normal SaaS.

III. What if a vendor fails the checklist?
You have two choices: 1) Don't use them. 2) Use them, but implement extra "Wrapper" security (using our Prompt Security Protocol) to mitigate the risks they admitted to.
