Why Procurement Loses Compliance Before It Realizes It

Most insurance procurement teams believe compliance is built into their process – until a vendor breach, audit request, or sanctions inquiry exposes the gaps.

Behind nearly every compliance failure sits a procurement reality few teams see clearly: intake requests that bypass controls, vendors engaged before risk checks begin, contracts signed with invisible clause gaps, and payments released after one-time screenings. Compliance doesn’t fail at the audit. It slips at the procurement front door.

This eBook reveals where procurement-led compliance quietly breaks down, why traditional workflows can’t keep pace with insurance regulations, and how risk enters the business long before contracts or payments are reviewed.
