Challenges faced by the procurement team

Regulatory Stringency

Upsurge in regulatory stringency in the past more than two decades

The snowballing of legal guidelines has businesses scurrying for market intelligence to meet compliance mandates.

  • Gain deep insights of the legal scenario to make informed decisions to comply with legislation while nimbly responding to market changes and staying profitable
  • Centralize supply-side datasets from across teams and manage quality records to help stakeholders focus on the bigger picture for improved decision-making and data security
  • Make the centralized data the basis to compute risk levels for various supply scenarios as well as anticipate and forestall uncertainties

Lack of Traceability

Lack of asset traceability, resulting in costly regulatory breaches

Money laundering is a serious offense, so failure to clear the air around contentious transactions has implications for banks.

  • Get the insights you need to develop plans and put them into effect to ensure asset traceability, thus foiling attempts to make dirty money look legitimate
  • Spot suspicious and unusual transactions and activities involving high-risk entities and countries, recognize patterns, raise red flags, and furthermore, report details to law enforcement agencies
  • Identify skill gaps in financial risk management and design action plans for training personnel in this practice and evaluate learners’ on-the-job performance and delivery

Software Supply Chain Attacks

An added challenge facing banks: Software supply chain attacks

Banks use third-party tools, including for cybersecurity. Ironically, criminals are slipping malicious codes into such trusted platforms to compromise banks!

  • Maintain a comprehensive catalog of all your software licenses and a track record of software patches to reduce risks arising from rogue fixes laced with malware
  • Conduct a PCI DSS pen testing, a yearly mandate for service providers in the card payment ecosystem, to combat supply chain attacks and elevate security standards
  • Scan software for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities and update to the latest safe versions, besides segmenting the networks to contain the damage in case of intrusions
