Chicago Compliance Officer Roundtable: Hot Topics for Investment Advisers
Please join ACA Group, Sidley, and the IAA in Chicago for an engaging conversation about hot topics for investment advisers.
Third-party risk management (TPRM) is the process of monitoring, validating, and remediating risks presented by third-party vendors. TPRM helps ensure your vendors protect your data, comply with regulations, and provide sustainable services that meet your requirements. However, vendor risk management can be a costly and time-consuming task. Our vendor management outsourcing service (VMOS) allows your company to offload the vendor due diligence and risk assessment process. Unlike other risk management solutions and vendor management software providers, ACA's VMOS will help your company save valuable time and resources in order to focus on more strategic tasks.
Our vendor management software allows you to track DDQ progress and vendor risk assessment results. Key features include:
Our vendor risk assessments are developed and managed by a team of information security risk analysts in ACA’s centralized, cost-effective analysis and review center (the ARC) in Pittsburgh, PA.

Over 750 clients and 2,000 vendors have chosen ACA to manage their vendor management process and mitigate third party risks.
Our tailored, proprietary vendor due diligence questionnaires (DDQ) include over 300 questions and are customized for each vendor type to provide an accurate assessment of possible risks. Topics include:
