Questions to ask
For this offering
- Which Coupa AI features in AP and expense are on by default, which require our opt-in, and which embedded machine learning features cannot be switched off?
- For touchless invoices, what tolerances and rules release payment without a person, who can change them, and how are those changes logged?
- What evidence supports the statement that SpendGuard can reduce or replace auditing services, and what does it not test?
- Which models and third-party providers, including Rossum's, process our invoices, where, and how is zero data retention enforced?
- Does Coupa's SOC 1 report cover the AI features we would use, including Navi agents and SpendGuard, for the period we need?
From the diligence question set
- DQ-04 Which AI features are in the modules and edition we license, or would license, and is each generally available, in preview or beta, a paid add-on, or limited by edition or region?
- DQ-05 Which AI features are switched on by default, which does an administrator have to enable, and can each be switched off on its own?
- DQ-06 Does each feature suggest or act? Can it create, post, approve or change records, and where is that limit enforced?
- DQ-07 Who can change each feature's configuration, prompts, thresholds, data connections or model: your company, our administrators or individual users? Can we restrict and log those changes?
- DQ-14 Does your service auditor's report cover the AI features we would use, for what period, and which controls does it expect us to operate?
- DQ-16 Is our data, including inputs, outputs, documents and corrections, used to train or improve any model, yours or a third party's? Is that off by default, and is the commitment in the contract?
