Apptega Introduces New Solution to Accurately Assess Vendor Cybersecurity and Compliance Practices
Eliminating the guesswork for vendor cybersecurity analysis
ATLANTA, September 16, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Apptega, a leading platform helping companies easily build, manage and report their cybersecurity and compliance programs, today announced the newest addition to their product suite - Apptega Vendor Risk Manager. With the power of Vendor Risk Manager, organizations are now able to accurately assess the cybersecurity and compliance standards of all vendors so they can clearly understand potential impact on their operations.
Vendor Risk Manager enables the automation and simplification of all the steps an organization should take to evaluate and understand the cybersecurity and compliance practices for all of their vendors.
Currently, organizations are still tackling vendor risk management using spreadsheets and static word processing documents, lacking the visibility they need to accurately understand potential risks from vendors and the impact those risks could have to their organization.
"Companies of all sizes have a multitude of vendors who can bring potential compliance risks to their business," says Armistead Whitney, CEO of Apptega. "Apptega's users and their partners can now ditch their spreadsheets and data rooms and collaborate within a single platform to quickly and easily assess their vendors' cybersecurity compliance."
