Use the Vendor Access Review dashboard to manage third-party vendors and conduct periodic access and risk assessments. This view helps you stay on top of vendor-related risks, track review progress, and maintain audit readiness.

From this dashboard, you can:

  • View all active and archived vendors

  • Assess vendor risk levels and review status

  • Customize visible columns and layout to suit your workflow

  • Apply filters to narrow down by owner, risk, department, tags, and more

  • Track review schedules, due dates, and assignees

  • Export vendor data for reporting or documentation purposes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In our list of vendors I have both Atlassian and JIRA. I want to remove Jira (because that is a product of the Atlassian company.) If I archive Jira from the list of vendors, does this have any impact on the integrations we have with Jira?

  • Archiving a vendor that has a related integration will not archive the connection. The vendors and the integrations are considered separate in the platform.

  • You will be able to safely remove the Jira vendor, while keeping the Jira connection.

I used to be able to export the vendor access tab, I don't see how to do that now?

  • This particular export is located in our Data Room.

  • Once you are in the Data Room, click Export data in the top right. In the modal, make sure Vendor Access List is selected, then click Export. Once the export is completed, you'll find the CSV within the Exports folder, under the date of the export. (Ex, Exports > 2025-01-06)

Is there a way to handle annual vendor reviews in Bulk?

  • You can put a group of vendors together in bulk, but Admins still need to review them individually.
