Vendor security follow-up

Vendor risk management software for the work after due diligence

Run consistent vendor assessments, turn weak answers into prioritized findings and keep follow-up visible until risk is closed or accepted.

A completed form is not a vendor risk programme

When reviews live in email, documents and spreadsheets, teams lose the connection between the original response, the finding, the follow-up and the risk that remains.

Vendor security assessments

Send ready-made or custom questionnaires and track submitted, missing and overdue responses.

Structured findings

Turn weak answers into findings with severity, status, risk contribution and recommended action.

Clear vendor priorities

Use dashboard and residual-risk views to see which vendors and issues require attention first.

Visible risk decisions

Risk reduces as findings close. Accepted residual risk remains visible rather than disappearing.

A practical vendor risk workflow

1. Set vendor context

Record vendor details, dependency information and the reason for assessment.

2. Send the relevant questionnaire

Choose cyber risk, concentration risk, GDPR Article 28, NIS2-oriented or custom templates.

3. Prioritize findings

Use severity, risk contribution, status and vendor context to decide what needs action first.

4. Close, accept and reassess

Preserve history, show risk reduction as findings close and keep accepted risk visible.

European compliance context

GDPR Article 28 templates support processor reviews. Cyber, NIS2-oriented and concentration-risk templates support security and dependency work. These records can support work relevant to GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001 supplier relationships, but do not replace legal advice or assurance.
