Delivering Value in Third-Party Risk Management
The modern business depends on, and is defined by, the governance, risk management, and compliance of third-party relationships to ensure the organization can reliably achieve objectives, manage uncertainty, and act with integrity in each of its third-party relationships. A haphazard department and document centric approach for third-party risk management compounds the problem and does not solve it. Organizations need to address third-party GRC with an integrated strategy, process, and architecture to manage the ecosystem of third-party relationships with real-time information about third-party performance, risk, and compliance and how it impacts the organization. It is time for organizations to step back and implement a third-party risk management strategy supported by a third-party risk information and technology architecture that delivers value to the business. This value can be measured in efficiency, effectiveness, and agility. A third-party risk management platform saves time and money and creates an environment where the organization can measure the effectiveness and efficiencies of resources.
ProcessUnity Vendor Risk Management (VRM) is a third-party risk management solution that GRC 20/20 has researched and evaluated that can manage third-party risk in complex, distributed, and dynamic business environments. ProcessUnity delivers a third-party management solution to identify, assess, and mitigate risk in third-party relationships across the organization. The solution can be deployed to manage specific third-party risks (e.g., information security, privacy, human rights) or can be implemented as an enterprise platform to manage the range of risks across all organization’s third parties. GRC 20/20 finds that the ProcessUnity VRM solution enables organizations to be efficient, effective, and agile in their third-party management strategy and processes. VRM is well suited for use in organizations of all sizes and industries that are looking for an efficient, effective, and agile approach to third-party management.
