The Problem:  Vendor Management Today

Vendor risk management has become one of the largest challenges in IT security governance.   Today’s solutions have several key problems:

  1. Manual – Organization sends large spreadsheet to each vendor. Vendors must respond with limited answers that must be correlated and reviewed manually.
  2. Inconsistent – Because of the limits of spreadsheets, organizations receive information in different formats.
  3. Inefficient – Many organizations use a “one-size-fits-all” approach. They send the same spreadsheet to all vendors, rather than tailoring the requests to the actual risk of the organization.  Vendors spend months trying to address controls that are not essential.
  4. Slow – The process of assessing a single vendor can take many months. Vendors needs guidance and tools to interpret the questions and make progress.
  5. Insecure – Vendors are submitting internal documentation via email in .zip files or uploading to a central server.
  6. Point-in-Time – The traditional vendor assessment represents a single point-in-time. Determining of the vendor has actually improved their security posture in next to impossible.
  7. Expensive – Manual effort and existing automated solutions are expensive.
