  3. Select the vendor whose information you want to edit.

  4. Edit any or all of the following:

    1. Vendor name - Mouse over the vendor name to change it.

    2. Category - The classification the vendor belongs in, e.g. Security.

    3. Status - The vendor’s standing in your organization.

    4. Owner - The individual in your organization responsible for the vendor. Note that only administrators and compliance managers or users with manager permissions can change the owner.

    5. Vendor contact - Your point of contact (or contacts) for the vendor.

    6. Contract start and end dates - The length of your contract with the vendor.

    7. Risk level - The level of risk the vendor poses to your organization. Note that the risk level is calculated from assessed risk and control mitigation via questionnaires and can be overwritten.

    8. Tolerance -

    Note

    The assessed risk option cannot be edited as it is directly related to how a vendor answers a questionnaire. The lower a vendor scores on a questionnaire, the higher the assessed risk level. See Calculating vendor risk.
