Third-party risk management

Connect with us

All businesses rely on third-party service providers, and third-party risk management (TPRM) is nothing new. In fact, regulated industries like financial services and healthcare have long been required to test and report on the effectiveness of their vendor risk management programs.

In-house security teams need to be able to create information security standards for suppliers, identify and classify vendors according to risk, and update contracts to ensure cyber issues are properly addressed.

Trust but verify

Our TPRM program design and development service helps you define the foundational concepts for starting a TRPM program from scratch. We’ll help you:

Build a core team.
Complete a full inventory of third-party contractors.
Collect and standardize contracts.
Define vendor security requirements.
Select and implement TPRM software.
Implement, measure and report TPRM results to executive management.

Through our outsourced TPRM services, we can also assist you with customizing a vendor security questionnaire, analyzing and scoring responses, and working with your vendors on remediation activities. In addition, our assessors can perform on-site audits for third parties that require the extra level of assurance provided by inspection.

We bring efficiencies and cost savings to the vendor risk management lifecycle
