Third-Party Risk Management

Trust but Verify

The CL360 Third-Party Risk Management app captures key data about your suppliers, vendors, and external parties. Surveys can be sent directly to suppliers to capture essential information about operations, security, resilience, and SLAs. Suppliers can complete surveys, upload supporting evidence, and submit based on rules and workflows set by the organization. CL360 dynamically links master supplier records to the business continuity and disaster recovery stakeholders for quick review and analysis. The platform can support either direct supplier access or internal management by third-party risk analysts. Privileged role-based access limits visibility into other areas of CL360.

Why Is Third-Party Risk Management Important?

Organizations that neglect to assess third-party risks open themselves to hacking, data breaches, and supply chain attacks. When developing a third-party relationship, you must mitigate risk against reputational damage. Technology and third-party vendors are frequently used to improve output and business services, but they all come with risks. CLDigital 360 offers a solution to help navigate and prevent third-party risks.

Types of Third-Party Risks

A third party may disrupt business operations and pose potential risks in the following ways:

  • The potential loss of data and financial information from a cybersecurity attack
  • Affected the financial success of your organization due to remuneration and legal fees 
  • Failure to meet business objectives because of a third-party vendor
  • Problems with local legislation, tight regulations, and compliance
  • Negative feedback and bad reviews from unsatisfied customers

Businesses, investments, or global markets negatively affected by political or social instability

True Insights into your 3rd and 4th parties

Start with our out-of-box supplier-scoring methodologies or quickly configure your own. Simple data collection forms are presented to the supplier/manager and can be populated along with any required evidence. Stakeholders can uncover insights on vendor criticality ranking that may trigger further review and action. The connection to business continuity allows gaps in supplier performance to appear directly within the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) area when they are attached to continuity plans.

Summarization and quantification of supplier risks is automated and directed to alert leadership of gaps. CL360 can send out emails, notifications, and reminders based upon frequency and/or criticality of the supplier to the organization. Customers can make modifications easily without coding. A variety of user experience tools such as progress bars, field insights, help text, and wizard features help to guide users to complete their activities quickly.
