## **Functionalities**

The 3rdRisk Graydon Creditsafe integration gives you real-time insight into the financial credit level of your third parties.

*Graydon Creditsafe ratings in third-party catalogue*  
In the third-party catalogue, you will see the Graydon Creditsafe ratings of the third parties that you have put under monitoring. When you hover over the rating, you will see a pop-up with a brief explanation of the rating.

*Alerts and notifications*  
When the Graydon Creditsafe rating drops, you will get an instant notification by the platform's virtual officer. There are two related alerts:

-   A slight decrease of the financial credit rating of a third-party
-   A significant decrease of the financial credit rating of a third-party

In both situations, the virtual officer will ask you if you would like to see the Graydon Creditsafe panel. In case of a significant decrease of the rating, the virtual officer will ask you whether an assessment should be initiated to the third-party.
