Vendor Intake & Onboarding

Centralize vendor onboarding and management

Siloes can be a problem for many organizations – especially those where line-of-business owners manage vendors, but procurement teams own key vendor information and processes. These siloes make it difficult to identify and manage third-party risks, which can open the door to data breaches and other business disruptions.

With the Prevalent Third-Party Risk Management Platform, procurement, security and risk management teams have a single source of supplier risk profiles, intake processes, and onboarding and offboarding workflows. The result is centralized vendor management and reduced third-party risk.

  • Simplify supplier management with offline updates and role-based access for all employees

  • Automate cumbersome processes to easily maintain vendor profiles

  • Reduce risk by gaining demographic, 4th-party, ESG, business, reputational, data breach and financial insights prior to onboarding a new vendor
