Powerful Assessment Tools
Intelligent questionnaires put an end to inefficient surveys and spreadsheets and simplify the assessment process for both organizations and their partners. Inherent risk scores and vendor criticality tiers automatically determine the assessment scope. Preferred responses score vendor submissions in real-time, identifying issues and highlighting where vendor risk managers should focus their time.
Third-party risk teams can leverage ProcessUnity’s built-in assessment content – which includes hundreds of categorized questions and process workflows – or, they can easily import their existing content and methodologies. Organizations can also take advantage of ProcessUnity’s integration with the Standard Information Gathering questionnaires (SIG Lite and SIG Core) from Shared Assessments.
Third and fourth parties complete assessment questionnaires via a secure, online portal. Vendors provide answers to a variety of question types and can easily attach policies and supporting documentation on a question-by-question basis. Delegation capabilities allow vendors to distribute questions to multiple contacts in their organization and SIG integration provides the ability to upload a completed questionnaire with a single click.
ProcessUnity Vendor Risk Management significantly streamlines the third-party risk assessment process for both customers and their vendors, allowing organizations to vet more vendors, more thoroughly, while reducing vendor fatigue and improving response quality.
Interactive Dashboards & Reports
ProcessUnity provides real-time visibility into the state of third-party risk and demonstrates to executives and regulators the existence of a consistent, reliable and repeatable program. Interactive dashboards give management visibility into ongoing risk assessment progress, the status of remediation activity and vendor ratings. Drill-down capabilities allow risk managers to quickly find the details in areas of concern.
Extensive custom reporting capabilities allow risk managers to create role-specific reports and dashboards through ProcessUnity’s point-and-click interface. With ProcessUnity, organizations gain program-level reporting that manual methods simply cannot provide.
