Perimeter VRM Assess is a vendor risk assessment module within the Perimeter VRM platform. It automates the end-to-end vendor risk assessment process, covering intake through validation and post-assessment remediation. Pre-Assessment: Vendors are onboarded via configurable workflows that categorize them by risk tier. Risk teams can build assessments using a built-in template library covering frameworks such as NIST, ISO, SIG, HIPAA, and ESG, or create custom questionnaires. Assessment Execution: Rather than distributing lengthy questionnaires, the platform has vendors upload documentation directly. An AI engine reviews the uploaded documents, answers assessment questions, and cites the source document for each answer. A connected monitoring module cross-validates vendor responses against the vendor's internet-facing assets to confirm alignment with actual security posture. Vendors then review and confirm or edit the pre-filled responses before submitting. Post-Assessment: After submission, findings are converted into remediation issues that can be tracked. Custom dashboards provide analytics across the vendor portfolio. The platform continuously monitors vendor posture and generates alerts when material changes are detected.
