There is a tremendous pressure on all financial institutions to reduce costs while generating revenue. The banking sector is an immensely regulation driven market, with tremendous pressure on banks to protect customer information. Outsourcing is used to reap cost savings from suppliers with clear comparative advantages. However the risks stemming from outsourcing needs to be managed. Our client has put in place a third party vendor risk assessment program. The need of the hour was to improve the framework, scale the volume of assessed vendors and bring in efficiency and consistency.
