Vendor Inherent Risk Scoring

Improve risk visibility to prioritize vendors

Vendors come in all shapes and sizes. That’s why right-sizing your due diligence activities by profiling, tiering and categorizing vendors can be the secret to a sustainable TPRM program. And that starts with assessing inherent risk, which is a vendor’s risk level before accounting for any specific controls required by your organization.

Prevalent builds comprehensive vendor profiles that include inherent risk scores based on the likelihood and potential impact of security, compliance and operational incidents. Our data-driven assessment process clearly scores and categorizes vendors, delivering prescriptive recommendations regarding the level and scope of due diligence for each type of vendor.
