Third-Party Exit Plan Builder

Fragmented vendor offboarding often leads to data loss, security gaps, and service interruptions. This skill transforms supplier agreements, service maps, and asset inventories into a structured, executable exit plan that separates vendor claims from independent evidence.

What it does

• Dependency mapping identifies single points of failure across integrations, APIs, and downstream business processes.
• Data reconciliation designs verification tests to ensure exported data is complete and restorable before service termination.
• Access revocation creates a sequenced plan for removing SSO, privileged accounts, and machine-to-machine secrets.
• Risk modeling defines contingency thresholds and fallback actions for scenarios like failed exports or vendor insolvency.
• Evidence tracking maintains an accountability matrix that distinguishes between proposed tasks and verified completion.

How it works

1. Scope and Identity: Define the supplier, departure trigger, and desired operational outcome.
2. Evidence Inventory: Catalog contracts, notices, and data maps while labeling items by confidence level (Confirmed vs. Proposed).
3. Workstream Generation: Sequence actions across governance, knowledge transfer, technical cutover, and financial close.
4. Acceptance Gates: Define specific criteria for sign-off, such as sampled data reconciliation and validated account removal.

Frameworks & tools

This skill is framework-agnostic and works with standard procurement, ITIL, and GRC workflows. It processes inputs from SaaS platforms, contract management systems, and asset databases to generate Markdown-based project plans.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often miss "invisible" risks like machine accounts, sub-processor data retention, or the difference between a vendor's claim of deletion and actual proof. This skill enforces a rigorous audit mindset, ensuring no service is closed until evidence-based gates are met.

Use cases

• SaaS Migration: Planning the transition from one helpdesk or CRM provider to another within a fixed window.
• Contract Termination: Offboarding a professional services firm while ensuring knowledge and asset recovery.
• Exit Auditing: Reviewing a vendor's "completion report" to verify if access was truly revoked and data returned.
• Emergency Offboarding: Rapidly securing assets and data when a supplier becomes non-responsive or insolvent.

Known limitations

Does not execute live changes, revoke access, or terminate contracts. It is a planning tool and requires specialist review for legal, privacy, and security conclusions.
