What is PIM?
Exostar’s Partner Information Manager (PIM) is a risk management tool that leverages information from trusted sources to provide a partner (buyer) with a supplier’s current and potential risk and impact. PIM allows organizations to successfully overcome the challenge of managing and securing a complex partner and supplier network. An easy-to-use solution for risk management, PIM leverages information from trusted sources to provide a comprehensive view of a supplier’s current and potential risk and impact. Using an ask-once-and-share model, PIM can radically reduce the burden of completing multiple NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and cybersecurity questionnaires.
Suppliers can easily answer compliance requirements (NIST 800-171, CMMC, DOD Assessment Methodology score for SPRS) by leveraging Exostar’s Certification Assistant which assists in security assessment.
