Typical deliverable

Vendor Risk Register

Structured register of all assessed vendors with risk ratings, assessment dates, data access classifications, and contract security requirements.

Vendor Risk Register

Structured register of all assessed vendors with risk ratings, assessment dates, data access classifications, and contract security requirements.

Vendor Assessment Reports

Individual assessment reports for each vendor documenting security controls, gaps, risk rating, and recommended contract or improvement actions.

In practice

The vendor register shows each supplier, the service they provide, the evidence on file, the current risk view, any accepted exceptions, and the next review or action date the business needs to watch.

The pressure

Supplier security questions are piling up and nobody can see which vendors were reviewed, what evidence exists, or where exceptions were accepted.

You get one working register of vendor risk, review results, and next actions instead of scattered procurement notes.

Third-party risk becomes a business problem when nobody can see what was promised, what evidence exists, which suppliers are overdue for review, or where exceptions were accepted. It creates one working view of supplier security exposure.

Good Security consolidates vendor reviews, evidence, risk ratings, and actions into a register the business can use for procurement, contract renewal, and leadership oversight.

FAQ

Common questions.

These answers are here to make the next decision easier, not to hide the real scope.

When does Third-Party / Vendor Risk Register make sense? +

Supplier security questions are piling up and nobody can see which vendors were reviewed, what evidence exists, or where exceptions were accepted. Use this when supplier risk is active, but keep the promise to a working register and review rhythm rather than a live monitoring platform.

What changes after Third-Party / Vendor Risk Register is delivered? +

You get one working register of vendor risk, review results, and next actions instead of scattered procurement notes.
