Deep Integration

From protection requirements to contract requirements — automated and traceable

Athereon GRC embeds the entire supplier risk management process directly into your ISMS workflows. Through automatic protection requirement inheritance, the system recognizes which requirements apply to each supplier. Certificates, evidence, and contract requirements are derived, queried, and versioned fully automatically.

Certification and contract management

Centralized and automated control of certificates and contracts

Athereon GRC enables complete management of all certifications, contracts, and safety certificates per supplier. Processes, deadlines, and repeat tests are monitored automatically — including reminders and renewed queries when documents expire. In addition, annual supplier reviews can be triggered automatically, ensuring that you are always audit-ready.

Fully integrated smart questionnaires

Automatically send, evaluate and assign questionnaires

If evidence is missing or suppliers are not sufficiently certified, Athereon GRC automatically creates smart questionnaires.
These are sent digitally and filled out directly by the supplier. The answers are automatically incorporated into your supplier evaluation and risk management via smart workflows.
With intelligent workflows, you outsource the effort to suppliers and obtain a consistent, data-driven picture of supplier status and risks.

Customized masks, fields, and questionnaire types are also available for other industries, such as automotive, energy, medicine, or manufacturing. With configurable questionnaire templates, the workflow adapts precisely to your regulatory, technical, and organizational requirements.

"By using Athereon GRC, we were able to link the requirements of the various standards (ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, BSI C5, ISO 27701) and thus process them in just one place.

The effort required to maintain the respective requirements of these standards and norms and the complexity that normally accompanies them have been significantly reduced through the use of Athereon GRC.

I would like to highlight two points in particular:

1) Open communication regarding customer requests and feature requests at all times. These are usually implemented very promptly.

2) The always fast and competent support from the support team.

Many thanks to the Athereon GRC team for the collaboration!”

Collaboration with Athereon GRC was very straightforward, both during project implementation and ongoing use. There was always a competent contact person. Any issues that arose were resolved promptly after reporting, and questions about specific Athereon GRC features were always answered quickly. Furthermore, ideas for new features or suggestions for improvements are received with great interest and then published in a future release.

We've come to value the unbureaucratic, customer-focused collaboration as our greatest advantage and strength, something we sometimes miss with other providers. We also particularly like the videos on Athereon GRC that have been published recently.

FAQ

Get detailed answers to the most frequently asked questions.

What is Supplier Risk Management?

Supplier risk management refers to the systematic process of identifying, assessing, monitoring, and controlling risks along the supply chain. The aim is to protect companies from financial, operational, regulatory, and reputational damage that may be caused by suppliers.

These include compliance risks, default risks, cyber and information security risks, ESG risks, and risks related to the Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains as well as international regulations. Professional supplier risk management is now a central component of modern GRC strategies, especially for companies in Germany and Europe with global supply chains.

What are the advantages of a software solution for supplier risk management?

A software solution for supplier risk management enables companies to manage supplier risks centrally, transparently, and in an audit-proof manner. Compared to manual Excel lists, specialized supplier risk management software offers significant advantages:

  • Automated risk assessments and scoring,
  • Continuous monitoring of suppliers,
  • Integration of external risk and ESG data,
  • Support for compliance requirements (e.g., German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, ISO standards),
  • Early warning systems for preventive risk minimization.
    As part of an integrated GRC platform, the software creates a uniform database for purchasing, risk management, compliance, and auditing: efficient, scalable, and auditable.

Is Athereon GRC's Supplier Risk Management (SRM) system adaptable to my industry?

Yes, Athereon GRC's Supplier Risk Management System is flexible in configuration across all industries. Whether it's manufacturing, automotive, finance, energy, healthcare, or the public sector, the solution adapts to industry-specific risks, regulatory requirements, and processes. Thanks to its modular architecture, it can be used to map, among other things:

  • Individual risk catalogs,
  • Industry-specific compliance requirements,
  • Customized assessment logic, and
  • Regional as well as international supply chain requirements.

This makes Athereon GRC suitable for both medium-sized companies and international corporations in Germany, Europe, and worldwide.

How does AI help me with my supplier risk management?

Artificial intelligence (AI) takes supplier risk management to a whole new level. In the Athereon GRC platform, AI helps you identify risks earlier, assess them better, and respond faster. You maintain full control over your data at all times and make independent decisions based on AI recommendations.

Specifically, AI helps through:

  • Automatically analyzing large amounts of data from internal and external sources,
  • Early detection of risk patterns and deviations,
  • Intelligent prioritization of critical suppliers,
  • Continuous real-time monitoring,
  • Reduction of manual effort and wrong decisions.

This makes supplier risk management not only more efficient, but also forward-looking and strategically controllable – a decisive competitive advantage in complex, global supply chains.
