Vendor Governance and Assurance
Independent, Evidence-Based Reviews That Strengthen Vendor Governance and Support Operational Resilience
Is your vendor governance actually working on the ground?
Effective vendor governance is the only way to stay in control and remain resilient when dealing with third parties. As regulators raise the bar, it is no longer enough to have a good framework on paper.
How Pro Global Helps
We help Audit teams by delivering independent, evidence-based reviews of how you oversee and control complex supplier networks. We look at how your governance functions day to day rather than just checking documentation: whether controls are applied consistently, whether your monitoring is actually delivering insight, and whether your escalation paths work when they need to, giving Audit the evidence to confirm that risks are being managed and that third-party arrangements genuinely support your wider resilience goals.
What sets Pro Global apart
Every engagement is run by senior audit and risk professionals who understand the pressure of Audit Committee reporting and the reality of managing vendors at scale.
Specifically designed to satisfy Audit Committees and regulators, providing proportionate, defensible assurance that helps you make better decisions rather than generic compliance reports.
We use tools, including AI-enhanced audit techniques and portal access, to improve visibility, but human judgement stays front and centre.
We focus on the risks that actually impact your governance and resilience, including alignment with UK operational resilience and DORA requirements.
Governance clarity: we help you define and prove exactly how your vendor structures work.
Audit confidence: the defensible evidence Audit needs to sign off on third-party controls.
Regulatory readiness: alignment with UK operational resilience and DORA requirements.
Consistent oversight: a standardised approach across even the largest vendor populations.
Reduced uncertainty: gaps in your controls found before they turn into regulatory problems.
Effective assurance should be a tool for better decision-making, rather than just another compliance hurdle.
A Simple Proven Review Process
STEP 1:
Scoping & Risk Profiling
We agree the vendor population, the controls and monitoring in scope and the regulatory expectations to review against.
STEP 2:
Evidence-based Review
We test how governance operates day to day: control application, monitoring insight and escalation paths.
STEP 3:
Findings & Reporting
Proportionate, defensible findings delivered through the portal for Audit Committee, board and regulatory reporting.
STEP 4:
Remediation & Monitoring
Repairs tracked over time with a real-time view of every vendor and control assessment.
Enhanced visibility via portal access
One transparent view of your entire vendor population
We provide secure portal access to help you manage oversight and reporting across all your vendors. This moves you away from fragmented spreadsheets and gives you a single, transparent view of your governance activities, with the status of any vendor or control assessment visible in real time.
The portal makes it much easier to capture evidence and track repairs over time, and it simplifies how you demonstrate control effectiveness, helping you maintain high standards of data governance without the manual headache.
