Ongoing due diligence
Continuous Vendor Monitoring and Alerts
A vendor that was clear at onboarding can change later. Define the screening sources, enrolled identities and review cadence for the relationship, then use new potential signals to guide traceable review and reassessment.
What the workflow supports
✓ Configured re-screening for enrolled vendors
✓ Alerts linked to the vendor and source context
✓ Targeted reassessment instead of full re-onboarding
✓ Approval changes remain human controlled

Configured monitoring cadence
Specify the review schedule and event triggers for enrolled vendor identities and connected parties. Confirm the configured service is active and retain evidence of completed checks.
Alert before status change
A new signal creates visible work for an authorised reviewer; it does not silently reject the vendor or change payment status.
Target the changed risk
Teams can request focused evidence or reassessment based on the alert rather than repeating every onboarding step.
Preserve the timeline
Checks, findings, reviewer action, remediation and later clearance remain part of the vendor audit history.
Coverage and interpretation
Detection depends on source availability, the configured screening schedule and reviewer follow-up. Monitoring cannot guarantee immediate detection or complete source coverage.
Frequently asked questions
What does continuous mean?
Ongoing review follows the configured sources, schedule and event triggers. It does not imply real-time coverage or a universal weekly screening interval.
Does an alert automatically block a vendor?
No. Material outcomes follow the tenant's configured review and approval process.
What if a source is unavailable?
The result is recorded as unavailable or pending rather than presented as a failed check.
