What is a vendor risk score?

The vendor risk score is a numerical representation of the level of risk that a vendor poses to a company. This risk is derived from various factors such as the supplier’s performance, compliance, and financial stability. The score enables a company to focus on monitoring those suppliers that have high risk. By means of vendor management software this process can be automated.
