It must provide robust risk scoring, real-time or scheduled monitoring, alerts, dashboards and reporting, supported by reliable data sources and auditable evidence.

Suppliers should demonstrate how their solution supports governance, assurance, decision-making and regulatory compliance through scalable reporting, configurable workflows, strong data quality controls and secure information management. A key requirement is seamless integration with SAP Ariba Risk through appropriate APIs, connectors or data feeds, ensuring supplier risk information remains current, accessible and actionable.
