The problem
"I need to assess suppliers and third-party cyber risk." Your security posture is only as strong as your weakest vendor with access to your data or systems, and self-reported questionnaires rarely tell the full story.
Who this is for
Organizations building or maturing a vendor risk management program, especially where a growing vendor list has outpaced any real assessment process.
Outcomes & deliverables
- A risk-tiered inventory of your vendors based on data and system access
- A repeatable assessment process, not a one-off spreadsheet exercise
- Clear criteria for what triggers deeper due diligence versus a standard questionnaire
- Contract language recommendations for the vendors carrying real risk
How we approach it
Map vendors by data and system access to establish risk tiers.
Risk-tiered due diligence, from standard questionnaire to deep review.
Ongoing re-assessment as vendor relationships and access change.
Delivered through
Delivered through our GRC & Cyber Risk service. We're also on the other side of this exact process ourselves: see our Pool credential below.
Industries & use cases
Proof
We are the outsourced CISO for Pool. An insurer vetting and trusting a security vendor with that role is itself a proof point.
