Using Onspring, Log4j’s VRM team built a survey to collect vendor responses in one week. After just six weeks, the team had closed out 82 records with remediation verified. Of the 82 high-risk vendors that were assessed, 31 total vendors were vulnerable to Log4j. The team’s prompt remediation efforts helped ensure that company data was not compromised due to a vendor breach.

FAQs


If you don’t see the answer you’re looking for here, feel free to contact us.

How are third-party risk assessments handled in Onspring?

Native survey functionality within Onspring software allows you to create custom surveys with dynamic questions and branching logic. Survey data from respondents automatically connects to the vendor’s data record and feeds into reports and dashboards. This means you can maintain real-time visibility of risk levels across your vendor universe without manual reporting effort. Surveys can be sent on a schedule or sent ad hoc for each individual vendor based on evaluation requirements of risk volatility.

If someone needs to complete a third-party risk assessment once or twice a year, do they need to be a licensed user?

No. Risk assessments sent via survey do not require users to log into Onspring software. Your vendors and contractors simply complete an online survey through a link sent via email. No login is required and all data submitted remains confidential in Onspring.

What kind of third-party data can we report on?

In Onspring, you can report on any data point captured. Customers using Onspring’s third-party risk management software most often create reports that display aggregated risk scores by vendor category and spend level. These scores often include feeds from third-party monitoring services to supplement risk assessments with continuous monitoring from cyber and financial angles.

How does automation improve the accuracy of third-party risk management?

Automation enables you to put manual, time-consuming efforts on autopilot, which frees up your time to focus on strategizing, proactive troubleshooting, or addressing mitigation efforts. The accuracy of your third-party risk program increases from continuous real-time monitoring of your third-party’s activities.

With automated risk assessments and mitigation task notifications, information is now fed directly into one, consolidated, analytics dashboard. Your program has more data more often, and this data is already displayed in meaningful reports that enable you to activate mitigation activities as needed.

Does Onspring’s GRC platform integrate with other business systems?

Yes. Onspring supports integration with systems like Docusign, Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Slack and many more. Expand Onspring’s capabilities further by integrating it with other systems through the Onspring API.

Can we implement Onspring’s GRC Suite ourselves?

Yes. You can implement Onspring on your own once a designated administrator from your organization completes training. However, most customers choose to have Onspring implement for them, as that service is included when you purchase the GRC Suite with some licensing models.

Learn more about our product licensing model.
