Latest Analyst Report: The 2023 Gartner® Market Guide for Supplier Risk Management Solutions
Pre-Contract Vendor Due Diligence
Evaluate potential vendors before they expose your organization to risks
Pre-contract due diligence helps to ensure that a new vendor does not introduce unacceptable risks into your environment. It involves conducting assessments of their internal security, compliance, operational and business resilience practices, as well leveraging external sources of information to validate their financial position and reputation.
Most procurement teams struggle to gain a complete picture of vendor risks, because most pre-contract due diligence solutions offer either an internal vendor assessment or an external financial report. This disjointed view can lead to risky gaps and potential exposure.
The Prevalent Third-Party Risk Management Platform delivers a complete vendor due diligence solution that unifies assessment results with financial and reputational monitoring for a continuous, closed-loop view of vendor risks.
