Vendor Management Training And Certification
Vendor Management Training Courses
Outsourcing has become a valuable business practice in virtually every industry these days — and banking is no exception. Financial institutions now rely on third-party vendors to provide specialized consulting expertise to their customers, assist with processing transactions, implement internal and external controls and much more. By outsourcing these services, banks can reduce costs, improve quality and allow management to sharpen their focus on the institution's core business activities.
A drawback to outsourcing is that it introduces an element of risk. For instance, vendors often have access to sensitive customer data, which elevates the cybersecurity threat. Banks must implement stringent vendor management practices to protect their interests and safeguard their customers' information — and ensure regulatory compliance.
What Is Vendor Management?Vendor management is the process of developing mutually beneficial working relationships with third parties, while also implementing effective monitoring and oversight practices. When executed properly, vendor management will allow financial institutions to maximize the benefits of outsourcing as well as mitigate the risks inherent to the process.

What Is Vendor Risk Management?
Vendor Risk Management is the process of ensuring that the use of outside service providers and suppliers does not create a negative situation for the financial institution.
Negative situations include failure to meet with state or federal compliance requirements, potential cyber security issues, including those that affect the institution's operations or ability to handle transactions, and of course anything that could affect your institution's reputation!
Don't get us wrong: using outside vendors allow banks to utilize the expertise of others that can create benefits to the financial institution and it's customers. That said, Vendor Risk Management is the practice of evaluating these business partners, suppliers, and IT or other third-party vendors in order to reduce the potential of data breaches, data leaks, cyber attacks, or other issues.
What Is A Vendor Management Plan?
While financial institutions may receive benefits by utilizine outside vendors, the negative affects of legal, reputational, and financial risks may arise if these vendors are note properly vetted.
