In vendor management and security review processes, filters help teams quickly surface the most relevant data, such as high-risk vendors, overdue reviews, or vendors with access to sensitive information.

Custom filters go a step further, enabling organizations to tailor views to their unique risk profile, compliance requirements, or operational priorities. This not only saves time but also ensures that decision-makers focus on the vendors and risks that matter most, improving both oversight and responsiveness.

Available Filters

  • From the Vendors page, you can filter by:

    • Security owner: The user responsible for performing the security review. This user will receive notifications related to the vendor review process.

    • Business owner: This individual is responsible for day-to-day management of the tool. E.g., their team utilizes the tools. This person is not responsible for security reviews, and will not receive notifications.

    • Category: Vendor category

    • Inherent risk score: A measure of the level of risk a vendor or process poses before any mitigating controls are applied. It reflects factors such as data sensitivity, access level, and business criticality, providing a baseline for determining how much oversight and security review is required.

    • Residual Risk Score: Represents the amount of risk that remains after security controls, safeguards, and mitigation measures have been applied.

    • Data agreements: Specific data agreements requested during the review process
