Vendor Risk Management Solutions for Finance
Reduce third-party vendor risk and simplify compliance reporting
Financial institutions are prime targets for cyber criminals aiming for financial information and personally identifiable information (PII). And, as recent breaches and ransomware attacks have shown, it's often through third parties that these cyberattacks begin.
With multiple regulatory mandates and guidelines – such as EBA, FCA, FFIEC, GDPR, KYC, NYDFS, and Interagency Guidance – requiring controls over third-party access, how are your IT security and risk management teams assessing third-party risk?
Prevalent automates third-party risk assessments, incorporating the latest real-time cyber, business and financial insights to enable security and risk teams with the visibility they need into identify and mitigate third-party risks.
