Shared Assessments, a leader in third-party risk management standards and education, has announced the launch of SIG Evolution (SIG EV), a new web-based platform that modernizes the delivery of the Standardized Information Gathering (SIG) Questionnaire while maintaining the same trusted content and assessment methodology.

Why it matters

The SIG Questionnaire has been an industry standard for over two decades, helping organizations standardize third-party risk assessments. SIG EV represents the next evolution, transitioning the SIG from an Excel-based workbook to a secure, streamlined web platform that preserves established workflows while enabling new capabilities like automated comparison tools and AI integration.

The details

SIG EV allows organizations to import existing SIG Excel files, build new SIG Lite, SIG Core, or customized assessments using a guided interface, and distribute questionnaires to vendors through their existing processes. Vendors can continue completing SIG questionnaires offline in Excel, with organizations able to upload and compare results. Key SIG EV features include secure browser-based access, automated version detection, and streamlined assessment review.

  • Shared Assessments announced the launch of SIG EV on March 17, 2026.
  • The Shared Assessments Third Party Risk USA Summit, where SIG EV will be demonstrated, is taking place on March 18-19, 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee.
