Universal DDQs

Telescope is built around- around a series of innovative “Universal Due Diligence Questionnaires (DDQs)”, covering many different types of vendor’s offerings, compliance policies, procedures, and supporting documents. Client-specific questions make Telescope a one-stop shop for compliance information.

Telescope’s Risk Scoring module empowers clients to set their own risk scoring algorithms and alerts to proactively identify and address higher risk third party firms.

Telescope’s License Management module adds centralized budgeting, renewal and cancellation alerts, and user administration, making for an even more focused one-stop solution and helping to save thousands of dollars annually by avoiding unintended renewals of third party services.
