Supplier Due Diligence

Supplier due diligence is the process of vetting third-party vendors before and during a business relationship, covering their security practices, data handling, legal exposure, and financial stability. For AI governance, it extends to the AI models, training data sources, and cloud or API providers a company depends on, since a vendor's weak controls or unclear data rights can become the company's own regulatory and liability problem. Regulators such as those enforcing the EU AI Act increasingly expect organizations to document how they assess and monitor these suppliers.

India's Telecom AI Rules Would Require Boards, Inventories, and Incident Reporting

India's telecommunications regulator is proposing AI governance requirements for the sector. These include board-approved policies, AI inventories, risk classification, impact assessments, senior oversight, supplier due diligence, audit rights, and incident reporting. The proposals, analyzed in the AI View - November 2026 update from Simmons & Simmons, signal India's move from general ethics guidance toward sector-specific mandates. Organizations supplying or operating AI in Indian telecoms should begin mapping existing governance programs against these emerging requirements now.
