ProcessUnity Integrates Its Third-Party Risk Management Solution With the Shared Assessments Program

CONCORD, MA--(Marketwired - Mar 29, 2016) -   ProcessUnity, a leading provider of cloud-based applications for risk management, today enhanced its Third-Party Risk Management Solution with integration to the Shared Assessments Program. The integration further streamlines the vendor control and evaluation process for ProcessUnity customers and third-party organizations leveraging Shared Assessment Program tools -- including the full and lite versions of the Standardized Information Gathering (SIG) questionnaire.

ProcessUnity will demonstrate the integration during a live webcast on Wednesday, April 13 at 11:00 AM EDT. To register for the session, visit http://bit.ly/1URoedD.

"ProcessUnity excels at reducing the administrative burdens associated with managing third-party risk. Our integration with the Shared Assessments Program makes it even easier for organizations and their third-parties to share due diligence information," said Todd Boehler, Vice President of Product Strategy at ProcessUnity. "Our customers can augment their questionnaire content with industry best practices and automatically score and assess the responses. Third-party servicers can respond to questionnaires with much less effort."

With the ProcessUnity SIG connector, organizations accelerate assessment questionnaire development using industry best-practice content for subject areas including Information Security, Privacy, Business Continuity and more. "We commend ProcessUnity for incorporating the Shared Assessments Program global third-party risk assessment standards into its products," said Catherine A. Allen, Chairman and CEO of The Santa Fe Group. The Santa Fe Group manages the Shared Assessments Program. "By licensing the Shared Assessments Tools, ProcessUnity has demonstrated its commitment to meeting client security and vendor risk assessment needs."

The integration allows customers to upload any version of the SIG into ProcessUnity with a single click and use a portion or all of the content to power their questionnaires. Using ProcessUnity's powerful scoring and workflow capabilities, organizations can apply scoring rules for responses, assign owners, set schedules, determine scope and then automatically distribute SIG-based assessments to third parties. The integration helps organizations improve assessment accuracy, shorten response times and increase the number of completed surveys by providing third parties with flexible response options. Vendors with a completed SIG (any version) can upload it to ProcessUnity and the system will automatically match the responses to the organization's questions. Vendors without a completed SIG can either complete questionnaires online via ProcessUnity's easy-to-use interface, or download an Excel-based version and upload the completed response.
