Why is Vendor Risk Management Important?

Companies increasingly rely on third party vendors to outsource key business functions, which comes with both benefits and risks. Third party risk management (TPRM) and Vendor Risk Management (VRM) are rapidly evolving as organizations experience new security, privacy, compliance, and business continuity challenges related to their vendors.

With the shift to remote work and the accelerated digital transformation, the use of vendors (especially cloud providers) makes TPRM a top concern for the board. The strategic role of a vendor risk management program varies significantly based on company size, industry, or applicable laws. However, there are many TPRM best practices that apply to every business, which we’ve compiled in this guide.

An effective TPRM program can reduce the impact of security incidents and reduce a company’s overall risk exposure. With a streamlined evaluation and decision-making process, companies can onboard new vendors faster and more efficiently, with the certainty that they’re making the right choice based on their risk appetite.

Additionally, a third party risk program allows organizations to monitor their vendor relationships over time, detecting new risks as they arise, and monitoring their security posture. Vendor risk management can also help you achieve the following goals:

  • Accelerate risk assessments and eliminate the dependency on email & spreadsheets
  • Replace point-in-time assessments with continuous monitoring
  • Customize the vendor risk assessment lifecycle
  • Evaluate more vendors with the same resources, while staying compliant with industry regulations
  • Understand vendor connections at a glance in a single risk dashboard
  • Use a data-based approach to quantify vendor risk and get a better understanding of how to keep the organization as risk-free as possible
  • Automate vendor onboarding and offboarding

If you need to improve your toolkit, ThirdPartyTrust can help by providing a one pane of glass risk dashboard, with end-to-end vendor risk assessment automation for making informed decisions about vendors, and continuously monitoring their security posture.

Let us show you how ThirdPartyTrust can help you reduce third party risk across your supply chain. Talk to an expert today.
