Elevate Your Third-Party Risk Management: A Whirlwind Tour of VENDOR iQ’s Key Features
In an era where third-party risk management is more critical than ever, VENDOR iQ stands out as a comprehensive solution designed to bring visibility, efficiency, and automation to your risk management processes. Let’s explore how VENDOR iQ’s features, from global data integration to real-time alerts and actionable insights, provide a solid foundation for effective third-party oversight.
A Foundation Built on Comprehensive Data
VENDOR iQ operates as a data powerhouse, with access to over 60 million global company profiles. The platform offers flexibility in how users consume this data: through a user-friendly interface, API integration, or via an email alerting engine. These alerts allow team members, from risk managers to procurement officers, to stay updated without logging in daily, making third-party oversight more streamlined and less intrusive.
Streamlined Third-Party Intelligence and Profiling
With VENDOR iQ’s intelligence module, users can easily search for and analyse companies within their supply chain. This feature offers a global view across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring that users get instant access to relevant company data. By simply inputting basic information, such as a website URL, users can retrieve profiles complete with regulatory and compliance status. From there, it’s easy to drill down into details or attach a company to a dashboard for ongoing monitoring.
Customisable Profiles for Tailored Oversight
Each third-party company profile on VENDOR iQ comes pre-loaded with synchronised data from billions of daily data points, creating a fully consolidated and dynamic business profile. Users can customise fields, like contract renewal dates or vendor IDs, to support integrations with other systems. With automated alerts and data points configured to client specifications, users have a bespoke oversight journey that aligns with their unique business needs
Real-Time Alerts and Advanced Risk Detection
Beyond basic alerts, VENDOR iQ’s platform is designed with a nuanced approach to risk. It recognises that third-party risk is often a composite of multiple factors. Users can select from over 150 alerts, from account misfilings to cyber vulnerabilities, and configure them to trigger based on specific conditions. This flexibility allows teams to act on complex risk patterns, enabling proactive responses to issues such as compliance officer turnover or financial instability.
Dashboards and Surveillance: A Unified View of Risk
The VENDOR iQ dashboard provides an intuitive, customisable overview of third-party risk across business units or regions. Meanwhile, the surveillance module enables in-depth tracking of alerts, actions, and risk levels by company or business unit. Users can easily filter to see critical metrics like a vendor’s financial health or regulatory status, empowering stakeholders to make data-driven decisions quickly.
Qualitative Data Capture and Client-Centric Flexibility
The recently launched capture feature allows clients to gather qualitative data through questionnaires tailored to their specific risk and compliance needs. Users can create and send targeted surveys, from procurement assessments to contract renewals, and collect detailed responses directly within VENDOR iQ. The platform’s built-in workflow and audit trail capabilities provide a complete, traceable history for each interaction, enhancing transparency and governance.
