Challenge

Are you leaving it too late to start considering cyber risk for new suppliers?


If you don’t start managing risks until onboarding, you’re at danger of reporting concerns, not reducing them. The traditional approach of vendor onboarding forms is valuable but it could leave things too late. With apexanalytix | Cyber Risk, you can assess and compare potential suppliers' cyber risk levels in seconds then share reports to drive collaboration from the outset.

Solution

Used by teams like yours

Your sourcing team can make risk-aware decisions with access to cyber reports for potential vendors in under 10 seconds. They don’t need to be experts to understand suppliers’ numerical reports and it can all be shared with the potential vendor to support transparent risk conversations from the outset.

 

If needed, your InfoSec team can even deep-dive into the cyber risk data, identifying specific concerns and seeking resolutions from vendors inside the platform.
