We’ve added the ability to allow users to reduce the criticality of a risk based on compensating control/information provided by the vendor, making it easier for you to manage vendor risks within the platform. In this release we’ve made this available for risks raised from questionnaires, and will be extending this capability for scanning and additional evidence risks in future releases.

Automation of tiers, labels, portfolios and custom attributes
Vendor Risk customers on our Professional, Corporate, and Enterprise plans can now say ‘goodbye’ to the time-consuming manual work of classifying vendors. Our automation feature allows you to set up rules that trigger when a relationship questionnaire is returned, automatically populating the vendor’s attributes with information gathered in the relationship questionnaire.
Not only does this save time and reduce manual repetitive tasks, it is useful in codifying your vendor classification processes, so you know that the information you’re storing is accurate and consistent.
