ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky., Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Venminder, an industry recognized leader in third-party risk management solutions, today announced the release of a new integration to the BitSight Security Ratings Platform.

The Venminder SaaS platform is a complete solution for organizations seeking to build a comprehensive, end-to-end lifecycle view of the risks their vendors may pose, enabling them to seamlessly track, automate, assess and report on all vendor activity in a centralized information repository. With BitSight Indicator, customers can seamlessly integrate BitSight Security Ratings and Risk Vectors into the Vendor Onboarding module within Venminder's SaaS platform to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of third-party cybersecurity risk assessments.
"We are excited that our customers can now order on-demand BitSight cyber risk data to reference with other data points gathered in Venminder," said James Hyde, CEO of Venminder. "Performing a vendor risk assessment is a valuable time investment and necessary component of a third-party risk management program. Given the avalanche of breaches consistently in the news and the need for new vendors requiring more due diligence, reviews and monitoring than ever before, BitSight security ratings have proved valuable to third-party risk professionals as a data point when measuring and managing cybersecurity performance."
