Hundreds of on-site vendor security assessments were delivered and NYDFS and CCPA compliance was met. A complex vendor risk assessment challenge untangled Situation: The information security team for a Global 100 financial services firm needed help with their vendor risk assessments across many different service types. The company also had a backlog of more than 40 assessments that a prior partner had been unable to perform. Value: Protiviti completed the unfinished risk assessments, and drove consistency, integrity, and data normalisation in vendor risk management processes.
