Vendor risk Management

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT IS VRM ?

The goal of Vendor Risk Management is to manage vendor risk. Industry Compliance experts have defined ‘Vendor Risk’, as any person or organization that is connected to a supply chain or is executing business on an organization’s behalf such as a supplier, distributor, consultant, agent and/or partner. Potential vendor threats can expose a company to Operational Risk, Financial Risk, Cyber Security and Reputational Risk.

The supply chain is the life blood of most companies. Dealing with a problematic vendor, such as a supplier in financial difficulty, a sweatshop in China, a manufacturer controlled by a Russian Oligarch, or any company associated with an individual on the US and Global Sanctions list can create a major source of reputation risk, compliance risk and financial exposure for your company.

Through Investigative Due Diligence we can…

  • Identify significant risk factors
  • Protect a company’s reputation
