Vendors play a critical role when it comes to boosting the profitability of any organization. To address this challenge, some companies have started outsourcing their vendor management process. However, they end up losing control over their workflows and become vulnerable to various operational and fiscal risks. This makes it vital for companies to identify high risk vendors and mitigate risk management challenges. Many progressive organizations have also started devising strategies for better life cycle management. This compels other companies to leverage vendor risk management solutions and enhance their vendor management process.

Step-by-step guide to set-up an effective vendor management process:
Identify all vendors
Companies need to identify vendors who are crucial for their business. They should start this by making a vendor list and then deciding how much access to data and process their vendors have gained over time.
Prioritize vendors-based risks
Prioritizing vendors becomes quite easy once any organization has identified their vendors. They just need to analyze the list and determine how much risks can their vendors pose for the business. This risk can be critical, high, medium, or low depending on the data a vendor possesses. There will be vendors who will be critical for the organization and their performance could affect the performance of the business whereas there will be some who will be having extensive customer data. Companies need to analyze all such risk factors before providing access to organizational data.
