Third-Party &
Vendor Risk Management

Assess and manage the security risk your suppliers and integrations introduce — vendor assessment, due diligence, and ongoing supply-chain risk, built into your operating rhythm.

Overview

Your risk is only as strong as your suppliers.

Most modern breaches arrive through a third party — a supplier, an integration, or a managed service. Regulations like NIS2 and DORA now make supply-chain security an explicit obligation, not an afterthought.

We build and run your third-party risk programme: inventorying vendors, tiering them by risk, running security due diligence, and monitoring them over time — so you can trust your supply chain and prove that you do.


Coverage

What we cover.

A complete third-party risk capability, from inventory to monitoring.

Aligned to: ISO 27001 NIS2 DORA SIG / CAIQ

FAQ

Third-party risk management FAQ

The questions we're asked most about scope, cost, and timing.

How much does third-party risk management cost?
It is scoped to the number of vendors and whether you need a one-off programme build or ongoing management. Contact us or use our estimator for a tailored figure.
What is third-party (vendor) risk management?
The process of identifying, assessing, and monitoring the security risk your suppliers and integrations introduce — and managing it down through due diligence, contracts, and ongoing oversight.
Why does third-party risk matter for compliance?
NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 all require supply-chain and vendor risk management. A documented programme is increasingly expected by auditors and customers alike.
Do you assess our existing vendors?
Yes — we inventory and tier your vendors by risk, then run security due diligence on the ones that matter most.
Can you run this as an ongoing service?
Yes — we can build the programme and then operate it, including periodic reassessments and continuous monitoring.
What is fourth-party risk?
The risk introduced by your vendors’ own suppliers. We help you understand concentration and fourth-party exposure where it is material.
Do you review contracts and DPAs?
Yes — we review security and data-protection terms in vendor contracts and data processing agreements and flag gaps.
How does this fit with our ISO 27001 work?
It directly supports the supplier-relationship controls in ISO 27001 (and the equivalents in NIS2/DORA), and we deliver them together where it makes sense.
