Transitioning from Excel to SIG Evolution (SIG EV)
What stays the same. What gets easier. What gets better.

For years, the SIG has been a foundational tool for third-party risk assessments, but as programs have grown more complex, so has the operational burden around managing assessments in Excel—version control, collaboration challenges, inconsistent outputs, and difficulty scaling across teams and vendors.

SIG Evolution (SIG EV) was built in direct response to those challenges. In this Product Forum, we’ll walk through what it means to transition from the traditional Excel-based SIG to SIG EV—and how to carry forward everything you already know into a more structured, consistent, and scalable experience.

Third-party risk management is reaching a breaking point. Vendor ecosystems are expanding faster than risk teams can keep up, risk signals are fragmented, and traditional approaches struggle to deliver the speed, coverage, and defensibility organizations now require. In this session, we introduce Hyper TPRM — a modern approach to third-party risk management built for scale. Hyper TPRM moves beyond questionnaire-driven processes by combining data-first intelligence, workflow, community-powered exchange models, and AI acceleration, with human confirmation where it matters most. Join us to learn how organizations are evolving their TPRM programs to: • Prioritize vendors using dynamic, explainable risk insights • Leverage shared, validated assessment data to reduce friction for vendors and internal teams • Apply AI to accelerate assessments, validate evidence, and expand portfolio coverage • Shift from point-in-time reviews to continuous, risk-based monitoring If you’re looking to modernize your TPRM program without compromising rigor, this session will show how Hyper TPRM enables faster decisions, broader coverage, and greater confidence across the entire third-party lifecycle.
