Use Case: Vendor Risk Management Automation

Simplify Vendor Risk Management Processes with Automation

Many vendors, one point of accountability: you

The modern enterprise is not only responsible for managing itself, but for overseeing an often vast network of vendors who provide everything from cleaning services to mission-critical operations support. Your success – and in some cases, even your business continuity – may depend on their integrity. And when they have access to sensitive data, yours or your customers’, regulators insist that they be held to the same standards you apply to your own business. At every stage in the relationship, from onboarding and SLA management to audits and contract renewals, you must maintain control you can document with evidence.  

Fragmented approaches must be replaced with centralized control

When you’re managing multiple vendors, with multiple policies and through multiple functional areas, you multiply your overall potential risk. Standard manual processes, via scattered spreadsheets and email communications, open up too many opportunities for error: dates and deadlines get dropped, policies overlooked, and auditors may lose confidence in your control. You need one centralized Vendor Risk Management platform that gives you precise and accurate command of who you are working with, what potential risks they impose, and how you are bringing their activities under the authority of your contracts, policies, and procedures.
