We help you understand and manage cyber risk as it relates to the third-party vendors in your supply chain.
Third-party vendors are an extension of your business and in turn, extend your risk—from financial, brand and supply chain risk to data breaches, unauthorized access to systems, regulatory and compliance impacts, geopolitical risks and more. Mitigating third-party risk is often challenging due to ineffective third-party vendor management programs, a lack of sustainable and repeatable processes, limited resources, shadow IT services, supply chain dependencies and how incidents are addressed if/when a breach occurs.
Our portfolio of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) services will help your organization:
Our third-party risk management services include:
In this phase, our consultants review your policies and procedures, contract template language, Business Associate Agreements (BAA) and other applicable documents. We interview key stakeholders from your procurement, legal, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), information security, compliance, privacy and other teams as required.
We assess, help define and mature your current third-party (vendor) intake processes. This includes a robust review of your process owners, defined risk-tiers, artifact requirements, assessment criteria and other appropriate third-party assessment activities necessary for each level of risk ranking.
We also provide recommendations to improve your program and suggestions for adding automation, tools and approaches for further program maturity. Our consultants provide an actionable program roadmap that includes a prioritized, strategic, multi-year plan, as well as a tactical plan for full implementation.
Our consultants can manage and conduct vendor risk assessment services within your platform and process, leveraging the solutions that you have already acquired. We have strategic partnerships with several leading TPRM solutions and the proper expertise to support and manage these tools.
Additionally, we can offer a fully-managed PaaS solution that integrates into your environment and process.
