You can use the discussion feature for any bespoke or follow-up questions for your suppliers. If you notice that a certain area or domain is not covered or needs more detail please let us know and we can look into expanding in the next update. #### What if suppliers don't want to upload their security information onto the system? We take security really seriously - any supplier that joins Risk Ledger has the opportunity to review us. We have strict data protection policies that everyone has to follow, sign terms and conditions which govern a two way relationship between us and the supplier. #### Does Risk Ledger individually verify the info suppliers put on their profile? We are a data pipe that sits between client and supplier, it's not up to us to decide what's good enough for you, however, the fact that supplier profiles are being reviewed by multiple clients means that the data is of a higher standard than most platforms. We can provide a fully managed service through one of our partners if required. ### Report ### Wondering where the greatest gap in your supply chain is?

Say goodbye to spreadsheets. It also had links if you were unsure of where to head with the questions which helped a lot". ### Supply chain assurance made easy "One of the main advantages of Risk Ledger is that suppliers complete a single profile which they can then share with their clients on request. Suppliers benefit as they only have to do it once (besides regular updates obviously). Clients benefit too as other companies on Risk Ledger may have previously invited the same supplier which means it is already available as soon as they accept the connection requests". ### Great tool, that has transformed the way we cyber assess suppliers "Easy to use and maintain cyber assessment tool, lots of great features including dashboards, reports, supplier discussions and notifications. Little push back from suppliers to complete assessments".
