A VENDOR YOU APPROVED TWO YEARS AGO HAS CHANGED OWNERSHIP, ADDED SUB-PROCESSORS, AND LET THEIR SECURITY CERTIFICATION LAPSE. YOUR RECORDS STILL SHOW GREEN.
The Problem
Why intake is the leakiest part of the vendor lifecycle
Good intake decisions require knowing what you already have. Which vendors are you already working with in that category? What are you already committed to? When does the nearest similar contract expire? Without the full picture of your vendor ecosystem behind each new request, every intake decision happens in a vacuum. BRM's intake is connected to everything BRM already knows about your vendors — so every approval starts with context, not a blank form.
Requests arrive everywhere, policies get bypassed
Slack messages. Forwarded emails. Verbal approvals. A form nobody filled out completely. New vendor relationships start before anyone has applied a policy to them.
Ops becomes the bottleneck
Once a request lands, someone has to figure out who needs to review it. Legal? IT? Finance? All three? The routing decision takes longer than the review itself.
Decisions lack context and arrive too late
Approvers see the request. They don't see the existing relationship history, the similar vendors already under contract, or the upcoming renewals that might make this one unnecessary.
The Result
Vendors start work before approval. Risk reviews happen after deployment. Duplicate tools get approved. No audit trail. Ownership gaps that persist for the life of the relationship.
What BRM brings
One front door with smart routing
Every vendor request enters a single, configurable flow. BRM auto-routes to Legal, IT, Finance, or all three based on your rules — no manual triage. Configurable by department and policy.
Slack and email approvals built in
Approvers get notified and can approve directly from Slack or email. No new tool to learn. SLAs enforced, reminders automatic, full audit trail created.
Evidence collection embedded
Security reviews, DPAs, privacy assessments, and compliance documentation captured as part of the intake flow — not chased down after the fact.
Full vendor ecosystem as context
Because BRM already knows your full vendor landscape, every intake decision is informed by what you already have: similar vendors, upcoming renewals, ownership, and spend.
Every request enters one configurable flow and routes to Legal, IT, Finance, or all three — no manual triage required.
