Most organizations assess vendors at onboarding. Very few monitor them continuously. Here’s the gap: Onboarding checks provide a static snapshot. Vendor risk is dynamic and constantly evolving. If your third-party risk management program stops at onboarding, your organization remains exposed. Ask yourself: • Are vendor risks reviewed quarterly? • Do you track changes in critical vendors? • Is risk scoring automated and continuously updated? Vendor risk isn’t a one-time task. It’s a lifecycle that requires ongoing visibility and control.
