Control Vendor Risk Without Stalling the Business

Your business runs on vendors—SaaS apps, data processors, integrators, and cloud platforms. The risk isn’t “using third parties”; it’s not knowing which ones matter, what they touch, or how they could be abused. Our Third-Party Risk Management approach brings order to the chaos: clear intake, sensible tiering, and a consistent way to judge what’s acceptable based on data sensitivity, integrations, and operational impact. The aim is practical governance that keeps business moving while shrinking the blast radius of a supplier issue.

We also focus on the hard parts that derail TPRM programs: SaaS sprawl and shadow tools, inconsistent questionnaires, contracts that don’t reflect technical reality, and findings that never close. We help you align legal terms with enforceable controls, turn reviews into comparable scores, and create a lightweight operating rhythm for renewals, exceptions, and offboarding. Leaders get defensible decisions; teams get guidance they can actually implement.

Focus On What Matters

Inside Your Third-Party Risk Management Service

We make supplier risk actionable—clear intake, real controls in contracts, continuous monitoring, and clean offboarding.

See the whole vendor picture.

  • Right-size questionnaires based on data sensitivity, system integration, and business criticality.

  • Capture use cases, data flows, and auth patterns (SSO, SCIM, API keys) to scope real risk.

  • Classify vendors into tiers that drive the depth of review and renewal cadence.

Align paper with practice.

  • Evidence requests mapped to reality: identity controls, encryption, logging, incident procedures, sub-processors, breach history.

  • Contract hooks that matter: security addenda, notification windows, audit rights, data location/provenance, offboarding & deletion.

  • Convert results into comparable scores and clear go/no-go or conditions-to-proceed.

Reduce blind spots over time.

  • SaaS discovery and access reviews to catch shadow tools and stale accounts.

  • Lightweight KRIs (access scope changes, incident notices, major platform changes) to trigger re-checks.

  • Integration sanity: webhook scopes, OAuth permissions, and outbound data paths.

Close the loop.

  • Track remediation with owners and dates; record risk acceptance with rationale and expiry.

  • Define offboarding steps (data export/deletion, credential revocation, integration cleanup).

  • Renewal checkpoints that re-score risk and confirm controls.
