Results of a recent Deloitte global survey on third party governance and risk management found that “87% of respondents have faced a disruptive incident with third parties in the last 2-3 years, of which 28% faced major disruption and 11% experienced a complete third party failure.”

Clearly, the significance of third parties in business today – and the risk that comes with it — can’t be overstated. With growing reliance on third parties and outside vendors in all aspects of business, now more than ever, organizations need the right tools to help them properly manage these critical relationships.

It is against this backdrop that we are pleased to announce that Gartner has named Dell RSA Archer as a Leader in the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Vendor Risk Management – the third consecutive time for this designation. The report evaluates and compares IT VRM software vendors with respect to competitive buying criteria.

We believe Gartner has once again recognized RSA Archer as a Leader in the IT VRM market based on the robust feature set of our solution and the configurability and workflow options our platform provides customers. We also think Gartner understands our use case approach that allows customers to deploy our solutions based on their current and expected levels of maturity without unnecessary overinvestment or complexity.

 
We’d like to sincerely thank our customers who participated in Gartner’s assessment this year.  We know you are very busy, but your feedback is invaluable in helping to inform others of your experience with RSA Archer.
