FAQ

Questions About Vendor Risk & Compliance

Vendor risk scores in Procurement VMS are composite scores calculated from multiple weighted dimensions: compliance document status (are required certifications current?), financial health indicators (public data and questionnaire responses), operational performance data (on-time delivery, quality scores, responsiveness), and external risk signals (sanctions screening, debarment status). The specific weighting of each dimension is configurable by your team to reflect your organization's risk priorities. Scores update automatically as underlying data changes.

Yes. Procurement VMS includes screening against OFAC sanctions lists, the SAM.gov federal debarment database, and other relevant exclusion lists as part of the onboarding and ongoing monitoring process. For organizations with specific regulatory requirements around counterparty screening, additional screening data sources can be configured during implementation.

Procurement VMS supports configurable compliance frameworks that can be tailored to your industry's specific regulatory requirements. Healthcare organizations can track HIPAA BAA execution and clinical certification requirements. Financial services firms can configure OCC third-party risk management framework alignment. Government contractors can track specific FAR and DFARS compliance requirements. Implementation includes a compliance framework configuration session with your dedicated customer success manager.

Yes. Vendors can update compliance documents, respond to due diligence questionnaires, and submit updated business information through the self-service vendor portal at any time. Document updates are routed through a review and approval workflow before they affect the vendor's compliance score. This eliminates the back-and-forth of chasing document renewals by email and creates a clear record of every update a vendor has submitted.
