Vendor Risk Management Solutions for Pharma and Life Sciences
Assess third-party data security controls and accelerate new vendor onboarding
The lifeblood of any pharmaceutical and life science company is its intellectual property (IP). Patented data and formulations for treatments, drugs and therapeutics must be protected when in the hands of trusted clinical partners and third parties. And, as new products are developed, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies must be able to quickly assess any potential third-party data security risks without slowing down the development pipeline.
Prevalent automates third-party risk assessments, providing comprehensive visibility into vendor data security risks. Using a library containing thousands of previously assessed healthcare-related suppliers, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies can quickly discern vendor risks and accelerate new vendor onboarding.
