According to Gartner, vendor risk management (VRM) is the process of ensuring that the use of service providers and IT suppliers does not create an unacceptable potential for business disruption or a negative impact on business performance.

For a long time, questionnaires were one of the only ways to gather IT security information about third party vendors.
