How to Add Vendors
Use the Vendors page to add, edit, and organize the third parties in your Vendor Risk Management (VRM) program.
Comply Fundamentals includes standard VRM. Complete plans include Advanced VRM by default.
Head to the Vendors page using the left navigation, then in the top right corner you can add vendors in the following ways:
Click Add Single Vendor - will only require the Vendors name to continue
Click Import Vendors from CSV CSV will require name, website and include optional columns like Department, Owner, Risk Level, Vendor Status, Last Reviewed, and more.

Vendors can be searched, filtered, and sorted in many different ways.
Editing Vendor Details
If you need to update an existing vendor’s information, you can do so easily from the vendor details page.
Navigate to the vendor’s profile.
Click the Edit button at the top of the Vendor details section.
A modal will appear allowing you to update fields such as:
Website
Trust Center / Security URL
Services provided
Owner
Contract dates
Authentication type
Tags
categories - Supply Chain, Technology, Strategic, Legal, and more
Make the necessary changes and click Save.
Note: Required fields (marked with a red asterisk *) must be filled out before saving changes.
This allows you to keep vendor records accurate as business relationships evolve.

Click the Edit button on the vendor's details page.
Scroll to the Tags field.

Check the box next to the tag name.
Click Save to apply the tag.
✅ Once saved, the tag will appear on the vendor’s profile and in the vendor table view.
Add Tags in Bulk from the Vendor Table View
To apply a tag to multiple vendors at once:

Click the Property dropdown and select Edit tags.
Choose either:
Add to existing to preserve current tags, or
