Which of the following are functions of the Vendor Risk Assessor? (Choose three.)

The Vendor Risk Assessor role (snvdrriskasmt.vendorassessor) is focused on the execution and review of vendor risk assessments. A primary function is to access and analyze the completed assessments submitted by vendors to evaluate their risk posture. If the assessor identifies any risks, control deficiencies, or non-compliant answers during their review, they are responsible for creating issues to track these findings through remediation. While a Vendor Manager typically manages the vendor profile, an assessor creating a new assessment may need to create a new vendor contact record if the appropriate individual to receive the questionnaire does not yet exist in the system.

A. Enable communications across vendors: This is not a function of a risk assessor. The VRM application manages relationships with individual vendors, not communication between them.
C. Update vendor contract deadlines: This is a contract management function, typically performed by a Vendor Manager or Contract Manager, not a risk assessor whose focus is on risk evaluation.

2. ServiceNow Product Documentation - Review and approve a vendor risk assessment: This document outlines the assessor's workflow, stating, "When the vendor submits the questionnaire... The vendor risk assessor can now review the vendor's responses... If the assessor finds a problem with an answer, they can create an issue, a task, or request more information." This confirms the assessor's responsibility to access completed assessments (B) and create issues (D).

3. ServiceNow Product Documentation - Create and send a vendor risk assessment: The procedure for creating an assessment requires selecting a "Vendor contact." For an assessor to fulfill their duty of creating an assessment, a contact must exist. If the necessary contact is missing, creating one (E) becomes a required supporting task to complete their primary function.
