AI-Powered Audit-Tech - Smarter Vendor Risk Management

Audit-Tech: Practitioner-Led Vendor Assurance

Smarter, compliance-led and tech-enabled vendor oversight

Confidently manage your vendor risk

Managing vendor risk and ensuring compliance has never been more critical or more complex. As insurers rely increasingly on third parties, the need for robust, independent oversight grows ever stronger.

Post-pandemic operational challenges and heightened regulatory expectations, such as those from the FCA, have further underlined the importance of comprehensive vendor governance.

Our Vendor Assurance service empowers insurers with a streamlined, data-driven approach to vendor audits, using the latest compliance-focused and technology-enabled tools as part of a cutting-edge Audit-Tech solution to assess, monitor, and mitigate third-party risk with confidence.

We deliver not just compliance, but peace of mind, knowing your vendor landscape is under expert, practitioner-led and technology-enhanced scrutiny.

Whether clearing legacy backlogs or implementing scalable ongoing processes, our expert teams work side by side with client functions to deliver hands-on, cost-effective support at speed. We tailor our approach to align with your organisation’s specific risk appetite and regulatory obligations, ensuring effective and efficient vendor oversight.
