Third-Party Vendor Risk Monitoring
Validate vendor security controls with continuous cyber, operational, reputational and financial risk intelligence
A lot can happen between periodic vendor risk assessments. That’s why it’s essential to have continuous insights into vendor risks.
Prevalent Vendor Threat Monitor continuously tracks and analyzes external threats to your third parties. The solution monitors the Internet and dark web for cyber threats and vulnerabilities, as well as public and private sources of operational, reputational, sanctions and financial information.
Part of the Prevalent Third-Party Risk Management Platform, the Vendor Threat Monitor module is integrated with inside-out Vendor Risk Assessment. All monitoring and assessment data is centralized in a unified risk register for each vendor, enabling you to quickly correlate the findings and streamline risk review, reporting and response initiatives.
