Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Email all vendors every January to ask if they are ready.
Why it's wrong here
Manual outreach is not a scalable or reliable GRC control.

Why this is correct
This automates the compliance cycle for third parties.
- ✗
Hire a full-time employee to manage vendor emails.
Why it's wrong here
This is an administrative overhead approach, not a GRC platform solution.

Why it's wrong here
