The Executive Summary provides a bird’s-eye view of your entire vendor risk landscape. Monitor overall health, identify high-risk vendors, and track fourth-party exposure from a single dashboard.

​
Key metrics

Total Vendors

Number of vendors being actively monitored in your portfolio.

Average Risk Score

The mean security rating across all vendors, scored 0–1000.

Grade Distribution

How vendors are distributed across risk grades — A (801–1000), B (601–800), C (401–600), and below.

​
Vendor classification

You can classify vendors by tier (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Untiered) and by portfolio (Supplier, Service Provider, or custom categories). These classifications help you prioritize which vendors need the most scrutiny.

​
Lowest and highest rated vendors

The dashboard highlights your lowest-rated vendors (highest risk) and your highest-rated vendors (lowest risk), making it easy to spot where attention is needed.

​
Fourth-party visibility

At the bottom, you can see fourth parties — the technology providers and services your vendors depend on. This gives you supply chain visibility into the tools and platforms your vendors use.
Review the Executive Summary weekly. If the average risk score is trending downward, investigate which vendors are dragging it down and consider sending remediation requests.
