FAQ
How do you generate the risk scores for the instant analysis?
VISO TRUST leverages open source data and historical assessments with predictive analytics to create scores. Recency also contributes to the score, which means you'll always be provided with the latest, most accurate data for the way you're working with a vendor.
A full assessment with artifacts will give you the most accurate information about a vendor's impact on your program.
Will all my relationships have instant analysis?
Relationships with vendors in the VISO TRUST directory are eligible for instant analysis. If the relationship features a vendor that is not in our directory, you'll see limited information. In those cases, a full assessment will yield the most accurate results.
What happens to my instant analysis when I assess the relationship?
You can view vendor information under the "Details" tab on the relationship detail page. Your actual risk values will replace the predicted risk values at the completion of the assessment.
Is my assessment going to be the same as the instant analysis?
The risk scores and audited analysis of the vendor may differ from the instant analysis depending on artifacts collected, actual answers to questionnaires, and auditor verification of the information provided.
