CSI Simplifies Managing Third-Party Relationships with WatchDOG Elite Vendor Management

New solution simplifies vendor management, mitigates potential risks

Based on changing regulatory standards that hold financial institutions responsible for the violations of their vendors, banks and credit unions are being forced to take a closer look at third-party relationships. In an effort to help simplify the vendor management compliance process, Computer Services, Inc. (CSI) (OTCQX: CSVI), a provider of end-to-end technology solutions that empower financial institutions to remain competitive, compliant and profitable, has launched WatchDOG® Elite Vendor Management.

This advanced vendor management solution improves efficiency and mitigates risk by providing financial institutions with an intuitive technology platform to automate and streamline the oversight of vendor relationships. With WatchDOG Elite Vendor Management, users are able to more effectively establish and maintain successful vendor relationships while ensuring full compliance with regulatory expectations.

“The continued reliance on third-party vendors among today’s banks and credit unions requires financial institutions to follow a robust vendor management program in order to best protect their business and their customers,” said Paul Koziarz, president and general manager of CSI Regulatory Compliance. “By expanding the offerings of our WatchDOG Elite platform to include third-party vendor management, we not only provide our customers with the tools necessary to identify potential risks from prospective vendors, but also enable them to better manage all new and existing relationships moving forward.”
