The Risky Nature of the Extended Enterprise . . . 

Any given organization stands in the shoes of its vendors and delegated partners/entities - their problems are your problems and their issues can directly impact your brand and reputation.  The challenge before organizations is “Can you attest to an in-compliance status of your extended business relationships across the range of risk issues that can impact your business operations and brand?”

The Bottom Line: Organizations are complex entities that extend to hundreds or thousands of business relationships around the world. Even the smallest organization can have diverse global business relationships. The impact of the extended enterprise is significant on business.  Organizations need to actively manage and monitor risk and compliance across the lifecycle of a business relationship.

Life-cycle of extended enterprise risk & compliance management . . .

Companies can find themselves in hot water when they fail to manage and monitor risk and compliance across the entire life-cycle of any given business relationship. Managing risk across extended business relationships is a life-cycle process rather than a point-in-time effort.  This involves establishing processes that go beyond on-boarding to manage risk continuously throughout the life-cycle of the relationship.
