Supplier Assurance & Vendor Risk Management

When the deal depends on a vendor risk questionnaire, Let's address it credibly

Enterprise procurement runs on questionnaires. APRA pushes CPS 230 obligations downstream into every supplier contract. And the SaaS, cloud, and AI services your business depends on now sit on the board's risk register. Aievon resolves all through one integrated supplier assurance and vendor risk practice, built for growing businesses where vendor risk has become a sales gate, a regulatory expectation, and a governance question at the same time.

Why Vendor Risk Is Now a Commercial Priority

Three forces are converging across Australia's growth sectors. Enterprise procurement has industrialised. Every meaningful sales cycle now includes a vendor risk questionnaire; and the deal does not move until the response is credible. APRA's CPS 230 is in force. Banks, insurers, and superannuation funds are pushing operational resilience obligations downstream into every supplier contract in their supply chain. And the business itself depends on vendors. Cloud, SaaS, payments, outsourced services, and AI tools; every one of them is now expected to be governed, not assumed. Aievon resolves these conversations through a single integrated practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Supplier assurance is the discipline of demonstrating to clients and regulators that the business meets the security, privacy, continuity, and resilience standards they expect from suppliers. Vendor risk management is the inverse — assessing and governing the cloud, SaaS, and outsourced services the business itself depends on. Aievon delivers both through a single integrated practice.

Yes. Enterprise Questionnaire Response is scoped to the document and the deadline, completed alongside the team or on the business's behalf, and delivered with a reusable response library for every conversation that follows.

CPS 230 is APRA's prudential standard on operational risk management, in force from 1 July 2025. It applies to APRA-regulated entities; banks, insurers, superannuation funds; and obligations flow downstream into supplier contracts across the financial services supply chain. SMEs serving APRA-regulated buyers are now being asked for evidence the standard requires. Aievon prepares the supplier-side evidence pack as a reusable deliverable.

Enterprise Questionnaire Response is scoped per document or on a small monthly retainer for high-volume sales pipelines. CPS 230 Supplier Readiness Packs are delivered as a fixed-scope deliverable. Vendor Risk Programme design is scoped to the maturity of the vendor base.

CPS 220 is APRA's prudential standard on risk management, requiring all APRA-regulated entities to have a board-approved Risk Management Framework (RMF), a designated Chief Risk Officer, and clear accountability for risk across the organisation. CPS 220 requires the RMF to address all material risks — financial, operational, compliance, and strategic — and to be integrated into business decision-making, not maintained as a standalone compliance exercise. For risk management programmes, CPS 220 sets the expectation that risk is governed at board level, reported with appropriate aggregation, and embedded into the organisation's operations and culture.

Move From Vendor Risk Bottleneck to Commercial Advantage

Most growing businesses treat vendor risk as a tax. The businesses that win in regulated markets treat it as a discipline — one that closes deals faster, satisfies regulators credibly, and protects the board from exposures it should already be governing. Book a 30-minute Vendor Risk Conversation. We will walk through the questionnaires, supplier obligations, or vendor exposures the business is facing today, and outline a fixed-fee path forward.
