Procurement Due Diligence Service
Leave due diligence collection to us, so you can focus on risk mitigation
In a recent study, more than half of companies cited a lack of pre-contract due diligence as their biggest third-party risk management challenge. According to that same study, the majority of respondents were not tracking vendor risks related to service level agreements (SLAs); environmental, social and governance (ESG); supply chain; modern slavery; and anti-bribery and corruption (ABAC).
Why? Because many organizations still assess third parties using labor-intensive, spreadsheet-based questionnaires – leaving their teams overwhelmed and missing critical risks.
The Prevalent Procurement Due Diligence Service empowers procurement teams with a scalable supplier risk assessment program. With this managed service, our Risk Operations Center (ROC) takes care of everything from onboarding your vendors and collecting due diligence, to continuously monitoring for reputational and financial exposures.
