On-site Supplier Assessment : Hellios

Do your suppliers meet the latest standards?

Financial institutions are required to demonstrate the operational resilience of their outsourcing and third-party risk management.

About FSQS

FSQS is a community of financial institutions collaborating to agree a single standard for collecting third-party information to demonstrate compliance to regulators, internal policies and governance controls.

Building supply chain confidence

At Hellios, we support our customers to really understand their supply chain. We do this by collecting, validating, monitoring and maintaining supplier data with the FSQS membership community.

Our Stage 3 pooled supplier assessment service helps our customers sleep better at night, assured that their supply chain meets all the latest financial regulations.

Within the finance sector, supplier assessments are incredibly effective to ensure the operational resilience of your supply chain. Obtaining access, audit and information rights is often a challenge when negotiating supplier agreements – that’s where Hellios can help.

Suppliers that share the same customers are often assessed multiple times, which can be frustrating and costly for both the buyer and supplier. With the Hellios Stage 3 pooled assessment process, this is not necessary.

Once a Stage 3 supplier assessment has taken place, the report is made available for purchase within the FSQS community of buyer members, giving confidence and assurance that all required areas of assessment are complete.
