Managing vendor risk is critical because a security weakness in a partner can become your problem. Lockwell’s Vendor Management makes this easy for small businesses: you can quickly identify which vendors handle sensitive data and ensure they meet your security requirements. Elle highlights any gaps (like a missing NDA or an out-of-date compliance document) so you can address them. By tightening vendor oversight, you reduce the likelihood of supply chain attacks and show customers that you take every aspect of security seriously.
