The Problem

## **Manual TPRM processes** are taking up most of the team's time while vendor volume keeps growing

## You know what good looks like. You just can't get there with email and Excel.

* ### Spreadsheet sprawl

  Managing hundreds of vendors in Excel and SharePoint files - both slow and hard to manage at scale.

* ### Vendors slip in unseen

  New vendors arrive via forms and email — and security finds out late (or not at all).

* ### Slow manual assessments

  Team is spending hours to complete manual vendor assessments.

* ### Endless questionnaire chasing

  Constantly chasing vendors to complete questionnaires and hoping they come back.

The Solution

## **One connected way to assess vendors, monitor changing risk, prioritize action, and prove that exposure is being reduced, so your** TPRM program can grow without adding more workload.

## Stay on top of 50 or 5,000 vendors - without worrying about your teams workload

Bring vendor onboarding, assessments, risk management and continuous monitoring into one always up-to-date central vendor record.
