Announcing: Zip for risk orchestration

‍

We’re also excited to announce the launch of Zip for risk orchestration, built for the global market where regulatory compliance is not an option.

In Europe alone, 98% of the top 100 companies experienced third-party incidents last year. Layered with regulations like DORA, GDPR, CSRD, the EU AI Act, and the German Supply Chain Act, supplier risk management has become business-critical.

Risk orchestration helps companies move from reactive to proactive risk management, automating third-party risk assessments, streamlining approvals, and centralizing vendor data for complete visibility and control.
