Streamline third-party risk management with Keller Schroeder's governance services to automate assessments.
Navigating the complexities of third-party risk management (TPRM) can feel overwhelming. Businesses of all sizes struggle with the manual, time-consuming processes of assessing third-party vendor risks, which can lead to security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. If you’re tired of sifting through spreadsheets and chasing down vendors for information, our Information Security Governance services offerings, which include Third-Party Risk Management services, can help you streamline and simplify this critical function.
The Challenge of Managing Third-Party Risk
In today’s interconnected business world, your security is only as strong as your weakest link. Often, that link is a third-party vendor. Manual vendor risk assessments are not only inefficient but also inconsistent. This traditional approach often involves:
· Scattered Data: Information is spread across countless emails and documents, making it difficult to maintain a centralized view of vendor risk.
· Inconsistent Scoring: Without a standardized framework, risk scores can be subjective, making it hard to compare vendors and prioritize remediation efforts effectively.
· Time-Consuming Workflows: The manual process of sending questionnaires, following up, and analyzing responses consumes valuable time and resources.
These challenges can prevent you from gaining a unified, holistic view of your entire vendor risk landscape, including both internal and external threats.
