Third-Party Risk Management

Vendor Onboarding
Best Practices

While all third-party vendors must be onboarded,
they do not all merit equal attention.

To contract a vendor is to initiate a relationship: when you don’t know who you’re really dealing with, you expose your enterprise to risks that can have enduring consequences. Too often, onboarding a new vendor includes disparate systems and databases, miscellaneous worksheets and inconsistent workflows. Company by company, the number and flow of these onboarding steps may vary, but one thing remains consistent: it’s always too many.
