Vendor Risk Management (VRM) helps in reducing the potential impact of vendor-related risks on an organization’s operations and reputation. VRM identifies and prioritize vendors based on their importance to the organization, assessing the potential risks associated with each vendor, and implements risk mitigation strategies to minimize or eliminate those risks. It is an important aspect of overall risk management for any organization, as vendors can introduce various types of risks, such as data breaches, cyber-attacks, operational failures, financial instability, and reputational damage.
