How PUMA implemented agile and efficient vendor risk management with OneTrust

Summary: PUMA, the multinational brand of sportswear, significantly improved their Vendor Risk Management with OneTrust. In less than a year, triggered a collaborative process to assess the risk, incorporating over 250 providers in just 17 days on average.

The challenge

PUMA needed a clear structure and consistent way to assess the risk associated with their providers. Its aim was to:

  • Know the risks of IT that are associated with each provider.
  • Having a process is consistent and repeatable.
  • Reduce the time and resources dedicated to the management of suppliers.

The solution

Adopted OneTrust Vendor Risk Management and created a process called “Vendor Check that:

  1. Assesses and monitors risks from suppliers with a framework standardized.
  2. Allows collaboration between teams to complete assessments quickly and efficiently.
  3. Integrates the service providers in the system for continuous tracking.

Top results

  • Average time of 17 days for evaluation, 80% less than before.
  • 80 % reduction in time in the risk management of vendors.
