Risk Management

Decentralized Risk. Centralized Control.

Procurement Risk Visibility for the Marketplace Era

Online marketplaces accelerated institutional purchasing, but governance frameworks did not keep pace. We help public sector and enterprise teams expose hidden risk, align purchasing behavior to policy, and reduce liability.

Marketplace spend diagnostics

The Risk Most Institutions Can't See

Marketplace purchasing is often fragmented across departments, cards, and individual users. While operationally efficient, it introduces structural risk that traditional procurement controls were never designed to manage.

Common exposure areas include:

01

Decentralized purchasing outside contracted suppliers

02

Policy misalignment across departments

03

Vendor vetting inconsistencies

04

Tax and regulatory compliance gaps

05

Limited visibility into aggregate marketplace spend

06

Difficulty enforcing institutional procurement standards

Online marketplaces were built for convenience - not institutional governance.

Marketplace Speed Comes with Structural Risk

What works for individual consumers does not translate cleanly to institutional procurement.

Convenience is visible. Liability often isn't.

Marketplace environments create:

  • 01Contract bypass behavior
  • 02Supplier concentration risk
  • 03Hidden compliance exposure
  • 04Decentralized approval pathways
  • 05Uncaptured rebate and reporting gaps

Built on real procurement experience

Procurement Risk Management was founded by Mike McKinnon, with more than 35 years of experience working within complex enterprise and public sector procurement environments at scale.
