Documents

Overview

The Centralized Document Store in SAFE TPRM provides a unified and secure location for managing documentation across Analyst and Vendor portals. This capability enables document reuse, controlled access, and efficient evidence management throughout the questionnaire lifecycle.

By consolidating documents into a single experience, SAFE improves visibility, reduces duplicate uploads, and streamlines collaboration between internal risk teams and vendors.

Note

The feature previously referred to as Evidences is now labeled Documents across the SAFE TPRM platform.

Key Highlights

• Centralized Document Store (Analyst Portal): Upload, manage, and reuse documents across multiple questionnaires and assessments.

• Documents Tab (Vendor Portal): Dedicated Documents experience with multi-file upload, progress tracking, search, and document management.

• Direct Question Attachment: Attach documents directly to questionnaire questions by linking existing documents or uploading new files.

• Document-Level Access Control

  • Restricted documents (internal-only, analyst visibility)

  • Third-party visible documents (accessible to vendors)

• Previously submitted documents can be reused, reducing vendor effort and maintaining historical context.

Uploading Documents

To upload a new document:

1. Navigate to the Documents card for a third-party page.

2. Drag and drop the file into the upload area, or click Browse to select a file from your system.

3. Once uploaded, the document is added to the document list and is available for:

   1. Attachment to questions

   2. Reuse across future assessments

   3. Review and audit purposes

Deleting an Evidence

To delete a document:

1. Locate the document in the list.

2. Go to the Manage column.

3. Click the three-dot menu.

4. Select Delete.

5. The selected evidence will be permanently removed from the system.

Note

• If a document is currently attached to one or more questionnaire questions, deleting the document will automatically delink it from all associated questionnaires. The questionnaire responses will remain intact; however, the supporting document will no longer be referenced or accessible.

• Deleted documents are permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
