NMS comes to Trust Exchange through our partner AuditLink, who has been providing vendor compliance management services since 2008.

Today, regulatory bodies are asking for more dynamic vendor management processes; simply reviewing an SSAE-16 and financial statements is fast becoming an unacceptable vendor
management system. Where financial institutions were given a pass on reviewing the five items seen in the flowchart here, it is quickly becoming a requirement where ten, twenty, or even thirty different areas of your vendor relationship must be under constant review. Couple that with the recent FFIEC cybersecurity guidance which now includes vendor management and this area
of operations will require additional retooling and investment.
To meet the ever-growing needs of financial institutions in this area AuditLink has partnered with Trust Exchange and has put together one of the most robust vendor management services in the industry to meet this growing regulatory burden and assist credit unions and CUSOs in protecting critical relationships in a pro-active manner.
