Vendor Risk Management
Vendor risk management is an increasingly complex challenge. Many businesses struggle to effectively manage a growing value chain due to the limited capabilities for continuous monitoring and reliance on manual processes. Some security concerns and aggregation issues go unseen, and overly-technical data makes decision making challenging. As a result, optimal prioritization of resources, and therefore remediation, is near impossible.
Risk Based Security® has a suite of products that helps you combat systemic risk and ‘shadow IT’ by empowering vendor management teams to more effectively – and continuously – evaluate and monitor the vendors in their supply chain. Our Five Star Ratings system and risk metrics makes vendor evaluation more comprehensive, decision-making more effective, and enable transparent reporting to leadership. We even empower you to put vendors on a path to improve their security posture.
