Supplier risk Assessment: Organizations need to analyze their spend on an ongoing basis, identify active suppliers, and cleanse and normalize the data to arrive at a comprehensive view of the supply base. Which suppliers pose the greatest risk to the organization’s major product launches, expansion plans or projects? Which suppliers can disrupt ongoing operations if their deliveries are affected? Which suppliers pose the greatest risk to the organization’s reputation and brand, regulatory compliance and the ability to meet ecological, health and safety plans? Companies should consider these questions and CRIF’s Business Information Report in order to gain a deeper understanding of the risk.

Buyer Risk Assessment: A good buyer risk assessment rigorously evaluates an organization’s current buying relationships with its vendors. It begins by identifying potential threats to the organization and rating each threat based on its likelihood of occurrence as well as the potential impact if it occurs. CRIF’s Business Information Reports keeps you up-to-date and enables you to identify less risky buyers.
Knowing a buyer means not only evaluating a buyer’s performance today but also having some insight into how this could change over time. This process of buyer assessment and that of the goods or services being sold in the right market at right quality is termed as buyer risk assessment. For a buyer to be reliable it must guarantee a pre-defined quality level in term of goods, services or solutions provided; this means being ready to prevent situations that could negatively affect the required standard.
