What is a Profile?

A profile is a segment of your organization that operates independently enough to need separate management in Vendor Risk Management (VRM) or Trust Management Hub (TMH). Profiles let each segment manage its own vendors, customer interactions, and documentation.

What is a profile?

A profile separates one part of your organization from another so each part can work with its own settings, connections, and documents. Profiles suit segments such as individual products, subsidiaries, or regions.

How do profiles work in VRM?

In Vendor Risk Management (VRM), each profile has its own vendor management and assessment settings.

• Each profile sets its own preferences. [List the preferences a profile can set.]
• Each profile maintains its own vendor list.
• Adding the same vendor to two profiles creates two separate connections. Each connection requires a license.

How do profiles work in TMH?

In Trust Management Hub (TMH), each profile manages its own customer connections and documentation.

• Each profile keeps its own security documentation, including questionnaires, certifications, insurance policies, and audits.
• A profile can receive customer requirements that differ from those of other profiles, so its documentation and interactions match its segment.
• Each customer connection uses one license. Sharing two profiles with the same customer uses two licenses.

Why does my organization have two profiles for the same company?

Each entity in Continuous Monitoring (CM) corresponds to exactly one profile in VRM or TMH, and each profile corresponds to exactly one CM entity. Two entities can have similar names or share a parent organization, so their profiles can look nearly identical.

For example, a shell company and a subsidiary in your organization can each have a CM entity. Each entity corresponds to its own profile, so the two profiles can look alike even though they cover different parts of your organization.
