Supplier Risk Profiles

An unhealthy obsession with supplier costs has many businesses chasing low-cost vendors who often cut corners on quality compliance. Unscrupulous third-party supply chain participants constitute the biggest source of reputational risk for organizations. Cost can never be a sole consideration for reckoning supplier risks, so taking a more detailed view of risk, we assign risk scores to suppliers based on multiple factors, and clients get alerts when the score threatens to exceed a certain threshold.
