The Global Risk Exchange is the world’s largest and most trusted library of third-party risk data. By combining 18,000+ attested vendor assessments, 360,000+ vendor risk profiles, and external threat intelligence, the Exchange revolutionizes traditional assessment methods, empowering teams to extend their existing resources to cover more of their vendor portfolio.
At its core, the Exchange is a community of risk practitioners and their third parties, all focused on risk reduction. By accessing highly requested, attested, and validated third-party assessment data via the Exchange, organizations gain the peace of mind to establish resilient business relationships. The Exchange’s assess-once, share-many model eliminates traditional bottlenecks in the third-party lifecycle, thus reducing redundancy for vendors and enhancing the quality of risk data for customers. The result is faster vendor onboarding, deeper risk insights, and targeted risk mitigation actions.
What sets the Exchange apart is its holistic approach to data: the Exchange doesn’t rely on the vendor’s side of the story or external content only – instead, it combines external content with vendor-attested assessments to deliver a complete, actionable view of vendor risk. This comprehensive perspective enables risk professionals to quickly and confidently understand their vendors’ risk posture and make informed decisions.
How Does It Work?
The Global Risk Exchange is a collaborative platform where organizations and their third parties share risk intelligence through an assess-once, share-many model. Third parties complete a single, standardized assessment aligned to 206 common controls, eliminating redundancy in their efforts. To enhance the value of this data, the Exchange integrates external content, such as threat intelligence, outside-in scanning, and security ratings, providing an additional lens to identify potential vulnerabilities. For added credibility, third-party assessments can be validated through ProcessUnity’s strategic audit partners, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of their responses.
When a customer requests access to an assessment or specific sections of it, the third party can grant permission with a simple click, enabling proactive data sharing. Organizations can invite third parties not yet part of the Exchange to join and complete the standard assessment questionnaire. Once added, the third party can easily update and share their assessments with any future requests, building a seamless, ongoing relationship.
The Exchange integrates directly with the ProcessUnity TPRM Platform, embedding risk data directly into onboarding, monitoring, and remediation processes. By combining risk intelligence with actionable workflows, the Exchange reduces manual effort and accelerates risk mitigation, empowering organizations to make faster, smarter decisions with full visibility into their vendor ecosystem.
