Vendor Risk: Vendor Discovery

Instantly surface vendor relationships with turn-key visibility.

The Vendor Discovery page in the Continuous Monitoring application [ Portfolio Risk ➔ Vendor Discovery] automatically surfaces your vendors so that you can quickly and easily subscribe to them in the Continuous Monitoring application. See how vendor connections are discovered.

Vendor Discovery Table

Use the Vendor Discovery table to explore automatically-surfaced companies from your supply chain.

When viewing the table, you can use the toggle to show or hide companies you already subscribe to. You can sort the table by company and relevance, or you can search the table for specific company names.

You can download the list of companies in the Vendor Discovery table as a .csv file. This file will reflect any filters you’ve applied to the table.

Selecting a company from the table opens a side panel that provides context to the connection. This context indicates why a company was identified as a vendor. It includes the company’s industry, number of network assets, and number of companies that monitor it. It also provides details about the company’s relevance and certainty, including a list of identified products that support these metrics.

You can use the side panel to subscribe to or decline a vendor. Declining a vendor will remove it from the Vendor Discovery table. To view a list of previously declined vendors, select the dropdown at the top of the table, then select View declined vendors. You can subscribe to declined vendors from this page if you change your mind.
