Supplier Risk Assessment: How to Automate & Improve Accuracy

What is the Supplier Risk Assessment Process

The supplier risk assessment process is a method used by businesses to evaluate and manage potential risks associated with their vendors or suppliers. It involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks related to financial stability, compliance, performance, and ethical standards.

For example, a company may assess a new supplier's history, financial health, and cybersecurity practices before onboarding them.

Without this process, businesses may face disruptions, legal issues, or reputational damage due to supplier failures or non-compliance. A structured assessment ensures reliability, reduces risk exposure, and helps build resilient supply chains.
