CONCORD, Mass., July 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProcessUnity, a leading provider of cloud-based solutions for risk management, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. as a Challenger in the June 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Vendor Risk Management.
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.

“We believe being named a Challenger in ProcessUnity’s first-ever Magic Quadrant appearance is tremendous validation for our approach to Third-Party Risk Management,” said Ed Thomas, Vice President of Marketing at ProcessUnity. “Our easy-to-use, quick-to-deploy and reasonably priced tools are helping companies as small as community banks and as large as Fortune 500 corporations assess more vendors, more thoroughly in less time.”
Gartner writes, “High-profile failures of IT service providers, increasing rollouts of enterprise risk management programs, and third-party access to sensitive and regulated information continue to fuel demands in the IT VRM market. While the predominant market driver remains regulatory requirements, lesser regulated or nonregulated entities are increasingly concerned with the operational and reputational risks to which their vendors expose them.” Additionally, Gartner believes, “By 2020, 75% of Fortune Global 500 companies will treat vendor risk management as a board-level initiative to mitigate brand and reputation risk.”
