Results from this year’s edition of the Prevalent Third-Party Risk Management Study showed that procurement and sourcing teams are challenged to gain visibility into supplier risks. For example, more than half of respondents said they didn’t have enough pre-contract due diligence to identify potential vendor risks, and fewer than half are actively tracking risks such as anti-bribery and corruption, modern slavery, and ESG – even though they acknowledged those risks were important to track.

That’s where the Prevalent Supplier Risk Monitoring Service can help.
