The SIG you know and trust is better than ever — and now it’s built for teamwork. SIG Evolution (SIG EV) brings the familiar SIG framework into a collaborative environment where teams can assess, review, and manage vendors beyond Excel seamlessly. In this Product Forum, we’ll show you just how close SIG EV is to what you’re doing today — and how the upgrade to real-time collaboration and consistent outputs streamlines the experience from end to end.

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.
