Vendor Risk Governance Automation for Executive Oversight

This repository documents an approach to operationalising vendor risk governance using API-driven automation and executive-level reporting.

The focus is on how governance logic, reassessment cadence, and accountability are made explicit, repeatable, and visible to senior leadership, while minimising manual effort and reporting friction.

This repository documents an operating pattern, not a point-in-time implementation.

Effective vendor risk governance requires more than periodic assessments. It requires sustained visibility, clear cadence, and disciplined execution.

This repository reflects an operating approach where:

• Vendor inventory and assessment state are treated as governance data
• Reassessment timing is explicit and enforced, not inferred
• Automation supports consistency and reduces discretionary variance
• Reporting is designed for oversight and decision-making, not data exploration

The intent is to support timely escalation, prioritisation, and assurance, rather than retrospective compliance reporting.

This repository includes:

• A vendor-agnostic architecture for sourcing vendor risk governance data
• Automation patterns for enforcing reassessment cadence
• Data staging approaches that prioritise traceability and auditability
• Power BI reporting designed for executive oversight
• Governance design decisions and operating observations

This repository does not:

• Reference or depend on specific TPRM platforms
• Include proprietary data, screenshots, or configurations
• Attempt to optimise cyber risk scoring or posture metrics
• Replace professional judgement with automation
