FAQs

What is a vendor risk assessment, and why is it important?

A vendor risk assessment evaluates the potential risks your suppliers may pose to your business, spanning areas such as cyber security, financial stability, data privacy and ESG obligations. Because vendors effectively extend your risk surface, weaknesses in their operations can directly impact your service or delivery. Regular assessments enable continuous improvement and greater accountability across your vendor ecosystem through ongoing assessments.

How does Advanta Advisory help manage third-party risks?

We take a tailored, strategic approach to vendor risk management. Advanta Advisory combines deep governance expertise with recognised frameworks like ISO 31000 to deliver structured, evidence-based assessments. We work closely with risk, legal, procurement and information security teams to identify vulnerabilities, embed stronger controls, and build resilience across your supply chain.

Can both existing and new vendors be assessed?

Yes. We support risk reviews across the vendor lifecycle – from onboarding new suppliers through to reassessing long-standing partnerships. This better enables your business to make informed decisions and maintain confidence in existing relationships as risks evolve.

How often should assessments be conducted?

Vendor risk assessment frequency can depend on the level of risk associated with each vendor, regulatory requirements and their level of criticality to your business. Best practice recommendations include reviewing critical vendors annually, and lower-risk partners periodically. Advanta Advisory can help you define a cadence that balances efficiency with strong oversight.

Do you offer ongoing vendor monitoring?

Yes. In addition to point-in-time assessments, we provide continuous vendor monitoring to detect emerging risks before they escalate. This proactive approach enables greater accountability, supports compliance and can help you stay ahead of issues that could disrupt your operations or cause reputational damage.
