Third-Party Risk & Compliance Software
Do you want to ensure that your trusted partners comply with your policies & procedures?
Working with Partners, Vendors and trusted third-parties is a very common scenario in today's organizations. However, along with the benefits this brings there are also risks that those trusted third-parties can cause you reputational damage or even leave you open to litigation.

Worried About Third-Party Risk & Compliance?

To help ensure your partners stay compliant with your internal policies and regulations we can help in 6 major ways:
- Communicate and share content with your partners.
- Ask partners to read and agree to your organizational policies.
- Register new users and easily manage existing ones.
- Audit who has agreed what policies and when.
- Request feedback by a deadline you control.
- Assign comprehension tests to ensure understanding.
The Perfect Solution For Third-Party Compliance
DocRead and Extradium can be used together with SharePoint to distribute policies and procedures to external third-party users.

How Extradium Works
Extradium (built by RioLinx, our partnering company) allows you to easily manage third-party access to secured content within SharePoint, without relying on the IT Department. This is achieved via a set of intuitive user management pages all built into SharePoint that can be utilised by Power-Users.

1. Add
Users either sign up with the Extradium 'sign-up' Web Part or can be conveniently added by an empowered business user.

2. Manage
Via the delegated administration site, power users are given the ability to perform user and group management without IT assistance.

3. Login
Once Users exist within your SharePoint Extranet, they are able to sign in and collaborate in the same way internal users can.
How DocRead Works
It's really easy to create, author and upload documents to SharePoint. However, it's not very easy to distribute those completed documents to external users and ask that they read and agree to them. DocRead offers several features to facilitate this common business process.

1. Create
New or existing documents stored in SharePoint document libraries are configured to be sent to external third-party groups with DocRead.

2. Assign
Once triggered, DocRead will distribute 'Reading Tasks' to third-parties asking them to comply and understand with the contents of your policies.

3. Monitor
A key component in any third-party compliance solution is the ability to track who has and hasn't confirmed your mandatory reading.

Extradium offers a 'self-service', registration Web Part allowing users to request an account on your SharePoint Extranet. If appropriate the account may be approved.

Reading Reciepts
If an external user confirms they have read a document - a Positive Receipt is stored for auditing purposes. If a user doesn't agree to a document then a Negative Receipt is recorded.

One of the most common problems in organizations is that staff can't find what they need. SharePoint combats this problem with its built-in Search Engine.

Customize E-Mails
Extradium sends several types of E-mails to external users. Each E-mail template can be customized to match branding and to include dynamic content.

Real-Time Reporting
DocRead ships with several reports to allow Administrators and Line Managers to monitor the performance of each reading campaign.
