The first thing you do when you're getting this information is get PDFs from these vendors like their SOC2 attestation etc. You wouldn't just screenshot the page, that would be nuts.

Any vendor who you work with should make it trivial to access these docs, even little baby startups usually make it quite accessible - although often under NDA or contract, but once that's over with you just download a zip and everything is there.

That's what I thought the first time I was involved in a SOC2 audit. But a lot of the "evidence" I sent was just screenshots. Granted, the stuff I did wasn't legal documents, it was things like the output of commands, pages from cloud consoles, etc.

		To be clear, lots of evidence will be screenshots. I sent screenshots to auditors constantly. For example, "I ran this splunk search, here's a screenshot". No biggie. What I would not do is take a screenshot of a vendor website and say "look, they have a SOC2". At every company, even tiny little startup land, vendors go through a vendor assessment that involves collecting the documents from them. Most vendors don't even publicly share docs like that on a site so there'd be nothing to screenshot / link to.
