Our Third-Party Risk Assessment services help organisations identify, evaluate, and manage security risks introduced by vendors, suppliers, and other external partners. As businesses increasingly rely on third-party services such as cloud providers, SaaS platforms, and outsourced operations these external relationships can become a significant source of cybersecurity exposure.
We provide a structured approach to ensure that third parties meet your security, compliance, and operational requirements before and during engagement.
Key capabilities include:
- Vendor Security Risk Profiling
Categorising vendors based on criticality, data access, and potential business impact to prioritise assessment efforts. - Policy and Compliance Reviews
Evaluating vendor adherence to relevant standards and regulations such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and Essential Eight. - Technical and Operational Assessments
Reviewing vendor security controls, including identity management, network security, encryption, incident response processes, and physical security measures. - Questionnaires and Evidence Validation
Conducting detailed security questionnaires and validating responses with supporting evidence, such as certifications or penetration test results. - Risk Scoring and Reporting
Providing a clear risk rating for each third party, with actionable insights and prioritised recommendations for mitigation or acceptance. - Ongoing Monitoring Strategy
Advising on continuous monitoring approaches, including periodic reassessments and automated threat intelligence checks, to manage evolving third-party risks.
By implementing a structured third-party risk management process, we help organisations confidently engage vendors while maintaining compliance, reducing exposure to supply chain attacks, and protecting sensitive data.
