Spreadsheet chaos
Vendor data scattered across Excel files, email threads, and shared drives. No single source of truth for provider risk, contracts, or compliance status.
THIRD-PARTY & VENDOR RISK MANAGEMENT
VENDOR RISK MANAGEMENT, FROM QUESTIONNAIRE SENT TO GAP CLOSED.
Third-party risk management software to send security questionnaires to every vendor, review the answers they send back, score and monitor their risk in one place, and chase non-compliance to closure - with the audit trail to evidence every step.
What is third-party risk management? It is how you identify, assess, monitor and follow up on the risks your vendors and service providers create: conducting due diligence through vendor questionnaires, tracking contract clauses, running ongoing concentration risk analysis, and chasing gaps to closure with evidence. Frameworks from ISO 27001 and SOC 2 to GDPR, NIS2 and DORA all require it - and for DORA-regulated entities, Venvera also generates the Register of Information.

THE PROBLEM
VENDOR RISK MANAGEMENT IS BROKEN
Blind spots in the supply chain
No visibility into sub-outsourcing, no concentration risk alerts. You find out about single points of failure only after something breaks.
Chasing vendors by email
Questionnaires go out, then silence. You chase answers by email, lose track of who is overdue, and have nothing to show an auditor for the follow-up.
CORE MODULE
EVERY VENDOR AND PROVIDER, IN ONE REGISTER
Track every vendor and third-party provider in one place: legal entity, country, criticality, risk score. Link each to its contracts, the business functions it supports, and its assessments. One registry, not ten spreadsheets.
- LEI and alternative ID support
- Criticality classification (critical/important/supporting)
- Automated risk scoring
- Intra-group provider flagging
- Ultimate parent entity tracking
VENDOR ASSESSMENT
SEND QUESTIONNAIRES. GET THEM BACK, FILLED IN.
Send time-limited, access-code-protected questionnaire campaigns to your vendors. They complete the assessment through a secure link - no login required. Ready-made templates for ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2 and DORA due diligence, or build your own.
- Ready-made templates across frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, DORA)
- 62-question Secure Development template
- Secure access: unique token + 6-digit access code
- 30-day expiry with configurable deadlines
- Real-time progress tracking per vendor
- Automatic email invitations
SECURITY
SECURE BY DESIGN
Every questionnaire campaign gets a unique cryptographic token and 6-digit access code. Vendors access via a secure public link — no account creation needed. Tokens expire after 30 days. All responses encrypted at rest. Full audit trail of access and submissions.
- Unique cryptographic access token per campaign
- 6-digit access code as second factor
- 30-day automatic token expiry
- No vendor account required — frictionless completion
- AES-256 encryption of all response data
- IP-logged access audit trail
REVIEW WORKFLOW
REVIEW AND OVERRIDE WITH FULL CONTEXT
When a vendor submits their questionnaire, responses are auto-scored instantly. Your team reviews each answer, adds notes, and can override the auto-generated risk rating. The reviewer’s name and timestamp are logged for audit.
- Auto-scoring: Yes/Partial/No/N/A with weighted calculation
- Risk rating: Low/Medium/High/Critical auto-assigned
- Reviewer notes field for qualitative assessment
- Risk rating override with justification
- Full audit trail: reviewer name and timestamp
- Side-by-side: vendor answers with your compliance requirements
RISK SCORING
AUTOMATED FIVE-SIGNAL VENDOR RISK SCORING
Five-dimension model: Criticality (30%), Geographic Risk (20%), Concentration (20%), Contract Health (15%), Data Sensitivity (15%). Scores calculate automatically. Re-scores when data changes.
- Criticality weight: critical=90, important=50, supporting=20
- High-risk jurisdiction detection (CN, RU, BY, IR, KP)
- Spend concentration threshold alerting
- Contract expiry and missing-clause detection
- Cloud/SaaS data sensitivity premium
CONCENTRATION RISK
CONCENTRATION RISK ANALYSIS
Real-time analysis: spend concentration, critical function dependencies, and geographic clustering. Know instantly if your top 3 providers control 75%+ of ICT spend or if one provider supports all critical functions.
- Spend concentration with configurable threshold (default 30%)
- Critical function dependency mapping
- Geographic clustering alerts
- Sub-outsourcing chain visibility
- Automated warning banners when thresholds breached
CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
TRACK CONTRACT CLAUSES, CHASE THE GAPS
Manage contracts with cost, data locations and exit strategies. A visual dashboard shows which mandatory clauses are still missing on every contract, so you can chase them to completion. Never miss a clause again.
- Mandatory clause checklist per contract (including DORA Article 30)
- SLA, security standards, incident reporting, audit rights
- Visual completion percentage per contract
- Contract expiry alerting (90-day warning)
- ESA code mapping for regulatory reporting
- Exit strategy documentation links
SUPPLY CHAIN
MAP THE FULL SUPPLY CHAIN
Track sub-outsourcing chains down to the n-th tier. Know which sub-processors your providers use, in which countries, and for which services. Several frameworks require it (including DORA Article 29) - Venvera makes it easy.
- Multi-tier sub-processor tracking (tier 1, 2, 3+)
- Country and jurisdiction per sub-provider
- Service description per link in the chain
- Concentration risk extends to sub-tier level
- LEI tracking for sub-processors

“We used to spend three weeks every quarter compiling vendor data for the Register of Information. Now we click export and get a validated xBRL-CSV package in seconds. The questionnaire module alone saved us from chasing 30 vendors by email. Our DORA filing went from a crisis to a non-event.”
