Vendor Management

Overview

Successful vendor selection plays a key role in effective business management. Critical to this selection process is identifying the risks associated not only with an individual vendor, but also the accumulation of risk overall within an organization. Risks assessment ensures third-party products and services comply with applicable laws, regulations, and security best practices.  To maximize industry vendor relationships while monitoring risk, concrete data, software, and analytics are required.
