Imagine being in full control, with the ability to evaluate, monitor, and communicate with all your vendors from one centralized, intuitive hub.

This innovative feature, TPRM Preview, comes packed with tools that take every aspect of third-party risk management into account. Whether it's assessing vendors based on various risk factors or maintaining a database of these assessments, the comprehensive toolset is designed to make your risk management process efficient and transparent.

Here are some highlights of the TPRM Preview:
