Overview

Storing vendors and contracts in Gatekeeper helps you manage legal obligations, budgets, and risks. However, vendor risk assessments often face three key challenges:

  • Disparate data: risk information is not centrally stored, limiting visibility across teams.
  • Manual processes: teams complete risk checks across different systems, increasing admin effort and the risk of error.
  • Static assessments: reviews often happen only at onboarding or renewal, so new risks can go undetected.

Market IQ addresses these by providing financial health data, compliance checks, and cyber risk monitoring, centrally within your Gatekeeper vendor repository. With Market IQ, you can continuously monitor your vendors, automate risk alerts via workflows, and ensure compliance with various regulations. The Market IQ Suite includes:

  • Market IQ Financial
  • Market IQ Cyber
  • Market IQ Screen

This data appears directly on the vendor record and any associated workflow cards, and updates automatically, rather than being checked manually in separate systems. See the demonstration below to learn more: 

 


Market IQ Financial 

Market IQ Financial connects your vendors to  Creditsafe, an external risk assessment and monitoring platform, giving you integrated credit and risk profiling directly within Gatekeeper.

With your vendors connected to Market IQ Financial, you can use live market data to gain better risk insights, improve vendor onboarding and risk assessments, and put ongoing risk monitoring on autopilot, without leaving Gatekeeper.

Market IQ Cyber

Market IQ Cyber connects a vendor record to  SecurityScorecard, the global leader in cybersecurity ratings. SecurityScorecard rates a company's security across 10 risk factors, providing an A–F grade and 0–100 score.

Market IQ Screen

Market IQ Screen is another part of the Creditsafe integration, Creditsafe Protect. When connected for a vendor, it provides a link to the Creditsafe page where you can run compliance checks across risk categories such as:

  • PEP
  • Sanctions
  • Financial Regulations
  • Law enforcements
  • Disqualified Directors
  • Insolvencies
  • Adverse media

Using Market IQ in the Vault

A vendor's financial and cyber data is displayed on the Market IQ tab of their record. This updates automatically whenever ratings change, so the tab always reflects the latest data.

You can also add Market IQ fields as columns in the vendor list view using Saved Views, letting you compare vendors' risk data side by side, build your own reports, and surface this data without opening each vendor record individually.

Using Market IQ in Workflows

Market IQ Financial and Cyber data can both be used to enhance workflow processes. Market IQ data can be:

  • Shown directly on a workflow card/in notification emails, so reviewers and approvers can find ratings easily. For example, during vendor onboarding, teams can view a vendor's financial risk rating before deciding whether to approve the vendor.

  • Used in conditional logic, to route a card automatically based on the vendor's risk. For example, a vendor onboarding workflow can be configured so that low risk vendors bypass the risk review phase entirely, while high risk vendors are automatically routed there for IT/finance sign-off.

    MIQ in conditional logic

  • Used to trigger an ongoing monitoring workflow that fires whenever a connected vendor's risk changes. For example, a workflow can be set up to automatically alert the risk team and start a review whenever an existing vendor's grade drops, catching a decline in financial health between renewals rather than at the next scheduled review.
