Vendor data is scattered
Contacts, contracts, security documents, assessment responses, and ownership details often live across inboxes, shared drives, and spreadsheets.
Safeguard governance, risk, and compliance
Horizon Vendor Management
Third-party risk without the spreadsheet sprawl.
Keep the complete relationship in view
- Vendor inventory
- Risk assessments
- Documents and contracts
- Review workflows
- Performance tracking
Third-party risk extends far beyond the annual questionnaire.
Horizon Vendor Management gives security, compliance, procurement, and business owners one structured place to understand each relationship, make risk decisions, and keep those decisions current.
Reviews lose consistency
Without a repeatable intake and assessment process, similar vendors receive different levels of scrutiny and risk decisions become difficult to defend.
Risk changes between renewals
A vendor approved last year may have new security gaps, expired documentation, performance issues, or a changed role in critical operations today.
Every vendor decision, backed by context.
Bring the vendor record, review process, documentation, risk history, and ongoing oversight together without creating another administrative burden.
Centralize the vendor record
Maintain vendor ownership, contacts, services, criticality, contracts, documents, reviews, and risk history in one dependable workspace.
Create one source of truth
Standardize intake and onboarding
Use a consistent workflow to collect the right information, identify business context, assign internal owners, and determine the review required.
Start every review clearly
Assess and score third-party risk
Evaluate vendors against defined criteria, document concerns, and use structured scoring to make review decisions more consistent and explainable.
Prioritize the right vendors
Track documents and deadlines
Keep contracts, certificates, attestations, and supporting documents with the vendor record while monitoring expirations and review dates.
Prevent evidence from aging out
Monitor performance and remediation
Record issues, agreed remediation, service commitments, and ongoing performance so teams can follow risk after the initial approval.
Keep decisions current
Report with a complete history
Give leadership, assessors, and operational owners a traceable view of vendor posture, review status, decisions, and outstanding work.
Defend every decision
Manage the full third-party lifecycle.
Use one repeatable operating model from initial intake through reassessment, with the history and ownership needed to keep vendor risk accountable.
Register
Create the vendor record, capture the business relationship, identify internal ownership, and establish service criticality.
Assess
Collect security and compliance information, review supporting documents, and evaluate risk using a consistent process.
Decide
Record approval, required remediation, exceptions, and the reasoning behind the organization's risk decision.
Monitor
Track documentation, performance, open issues, and changes that may affect the vendor's current risk posture.
Renew
Reassess the relationship with its full history available instead of restarting the review from disconnected files and email threads.
