Faster Business Growth Starts with Better Vendor Onboarding

Apr 30 / IT GRC Forum

Companies rely on third-party vendors to become leaner, more agile, and efficient, enabling faster time-to-market. Yet vendor onboarding remains a major challenge, taking an average of 90 days—20 days longer than four years ago—while security leaders balance business demands with fundamental security practices.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to remote work have accelerated the adoption of new vendors, increasing pressure on third-party risk managers (TPRM) to onboard and operationalize vendors quickly, securely, and cost-effectively.

In this webinar, Evan Tegethoff, Will Ricciardi, and Andrew Calo from BitSight will share strategies to streamline onboarding while maintaining strong risk oversight. Participants will learn how to reduce time and cost, scale TPRM programs efficiently, prioritize assessments through vendor tiering, and implement adaptive monitoring processes.

Attendees will gain practical guidance for building faster, scalable, and secure onboarding workflows, enabling their organization to remain competitive and resilient in a rapidly changing business environment.
