Sometimes we need to lead with the taboo statement. Traditional VRM as practiced by most businesses today amounts to little more than an elaborate "cover your ass" ritual. The notion that questionnaires and compliance reports alone can significantly reduce risk is misleading at best and willfully ignorant at worst. The most effective way to reduce vendor risk is by proactively insulating your business, your customers, and your data from inevitable issues, rather than relying solely on "industry best practice" VRM method.

When a major vendor breach occurs, it reveals a critical flaw in traditional VRM approaches: despite passing the risk assessments of all its customers—including unique questionnaires from each of the 20,000+ businesses—it still got breached. This poses a serious question: if such a large collective of businesses, each employing their own VRM strategies, cannot identify the vulnerabilities and risks that lead to breaches, what real value do these efforts offer? The constant widespread failure should make any reasonable person challenge the notion that traditional VRM processes, beyond serving as basic due diligence, genuinely reduce risk or offer any real security guarantees.
