If your vendor count has tripled while your cyber security team hasn't, you already know how these sentences end:
"We assess vendors once a year - and go blind the other 364 days."
"Business units onboard vendors we never see. Our inventory is fiction."
"Questionnaires take six weeks, then need chasing - stale before they're done."
"Findings go into a spreadsheet and die there."
"One board or regulator question triggers a week-long scramble."
WHAT YOU'LL HEAR:
The full story: the before-and-after story of a hospital network that learned about a vendor's breach from the news - and what the same six months look like with continuous vendor visibility.
How AI-powered assessments, objective security ratings, and daily monitoring compress weeks of vendor review into minutes.
