# Viewing a Supplier

Clicking on a supplier will take you to a more detailed view of the supplier. Here there are three sections - Overview, Assurance, and Disaster Recovery.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Overview" %}
The `Overview` tab shows a basic look at the selected supplier. From here you can view the description of the supplier, leave comments, upload files, and view any activity on the supplier.

The main sections can be edited by clicking the `Edit` button in the top-right, and side-bar information can be edited with the bottom-left `Edit` button.

{% tab title="Assurance" %}
The `Assurance` tab is key to ensuring your supplier is secured and correctly configured. Here you should log the basic security considerations to ensure your supplier remains as secure as possible.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Disaster Recovery" %}
The `Disaster Recovery` tab is important to ensure your suppliers have contingencies in place in case of an emergency. Each supplier should have a disaster recovery plan prepared with notes regarding security considerations below. Effective disaster recovery measures can help your employees streamline and save processes in case of disaster, and recover your workflow.
