IHS Markit’s KY3P addresses the risks posed by “third party solutions” as vendor relationships continue to under grow scrutiny by global regulators.
As firms increase reliance on “third party vendors” to deliver business-critical processes and services, oversight complexity also increases.
IHS works with end users to realize best in class third party risk management programs to drive efficiency, streamline due diligence and deliver transparency across their organizations.
KY3P standardizes onboarding, due diligence, inherent risk calculation, oversight, and off boarding of third party products, services and outsourcing arrangements. It enables the enforcement of compliance by codifying the organizations’ vendor risk policies and oversight procedures.
