CONCORD, Mass., Feb. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProcessUnity, a leading provider of cloud-based applications for risk management, today announced it has updated its support for the Shared Assessments Standard Information Gathering (“SIG”) questionnaire to include the 2019 version. Seamlessly incorporating the SIG into ProcessUnity’s Vendor Cloud application increases speed, consistency, and efficiency in Vendor Risk Management assessments for cybersecurity, IT risk, privacy, data security and business resiliency.
“The SIG questionnaire provides a standard, efficient way to perform third-party risk assessments and helps to reduce the burden on third and fourth parties by allowing them to repurpose their responses for multiple assessments,” said Paul Carroll, Executive Vice President of Product and Engineering at ProcessUnity. “Combining a standardized assessment with ProcessUnity’s powerful automation – for distributing, tracking and scoring these assessments – reduces the time and cost associated with the due diligence process while significantly limiting vendor fatigue.”
Shared Assessments is a member-driven, industry-standard body with tools and best practices that help organizations manage the full lifecycle of a third-party relationship, from planning for third party engagement, to due diligence and vendor selection, contract negotiations, ongoing and continuous monitoring and termination. The SIG questionnaire provides an inventory of industry standard questions for the remote assessment process that allows an organization to scope initial assessment information regarding a service provider’s controls.
ProcessUnity Vendor Cloud is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application that identifies and remediates risks posed by third-party service providers. The cloud-based solution automates key phases of the vendor risk management lifecycle from initial onboarding and due diligence, through ongoing assessments, service-level agreements (SLAs) and contract management.
