About Licensing the Shared Assessments Program Tools

Many of today’s companies use third-party software to evaluate and score service provider risk, incorporating the results into their management dashboards. Software providers wishing to incorporate Shared Assessment Program standards into a software product offered for license or sale must obtain acceptance and a license from The Santa Fe Group.

The Shared Assessments Program was originally created by six leading financial institutions in conjunction with the Big 4 accounting firms to inject efficiency, consistency, cost savings and common sense into the service provider assessment process. The Santa Fe Group manages Shared Assessments as an independent, industry-driven standard.

Benefits of Licensing
