Banks, insurers, and asset managers run on third-party relationships, and regulators expect every critical one to be documented. Vallor reads outsourcing agreements, vendor contracts, and data-processing terms, connects the systems where obligations live, and returns cited answers that hold up in an exam.
- Use this page if you run a third-party risk program and need contract evidence that stands up to an exam.
- Start with the vendor contracts, outsourcing agreements, and CLM exports you already have.
- Track the provisions examiners look for: right to audit, records access, incident notification, business continuity, subcontractor oversight, and exit assistance.
What teams need
Third-party inventory
Interagency third-party risk guidance expects a current inventory of critical vendors with the contract terms behind each one. Spreadsheets go stale fast.
Required provisions
Examiners look for right-to-audit, records access, incident notification, and business continuity terms. You need to know which contracts carry them and which do not.
Fourth-party visibility
Your vendors subcontract. Consent and flow-down terms decide whether you have oversight of the parties behind your vendors.
How Vallor helps
- Connect the CLM, shared drive, or vendor repository where outsourcing agreements and vendor contracts live.
- Extract right-to-audit clauses, records access, incident and breach notification windows, business continuity duties, subcontractor consent, and termination or exit-assistance terms.
- Ask questions like which critical vendors lack a right-to-audit clause, and get answers linked to the source clause.
- Route follow-up work: renewals, missing-provision remediation, SOC 2 report collection, and exit-assistance planning.
- Compare terms across the vendor portfolio to find concentration risk, missing provisions, and language that drifts from your standard.
