Third-party risk data cannot sit in an isolated procurement database. It must be integrated into the central governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) ecosystem to provide portofolio-level visibility.

[GRC System Processes Alerts] ---------> Connects vendor bugs to core business nodes

[Compute Combined Inherent Risk] ------> Re-calculates systemic operational exposures

           v
[Update Executive Heat Map] -----------> Reflects real-world vendor risks on board dashboards

By linking vendor risk profiles directly to core business processes within a central GRC platform, the risk management team can ensure that third-party vulnerabilities are monitored, managed, and reported to executive leadership alongside internal enterprise risks.
