“Very positive impact. Speeded up assessments. Nice for the eye. Good reporting and nice dashboards.”

Challenges

The business challenges that led the profiled company to evaluate and ultimately select Prevalent:

  • Top drivers for purchasing their Prevalent third-party risk management solution:
    • Stronger cybersecurity, to ensure that third parties do not introduce cyber risks that could negatively impact the business
    • Reduce operational burden (the process of assessing and evaluating vendors took too much time and resources)
  • Challenges that deploying Prevalent solved for their organization:
    • A lack of automation in collecting and analyzing vendor surveys
    • An inability to share completed assessment content and supporting evidence to more quickly identify risks and vulnerabilities
    • Having no centralization of TPRM functions
    • An inconsistent methodology for vendor risk management

Use Case

  • Regulations or industry frameworks they must regularly report against:
  • Looking to grow the number of vendors they assess in the next 12 months by 0-10%.
