Our Methodology

  • Inventory all third-party providers, categorizing them by criticality, data access, and integration depth. Profile services, technologies, and dependencies to establish a baseline risk landscape.

  • Examine technical safeguards, including encryption, access management, incident response, and penetration testing records. Validate evidence against frameworks like NIST 800-53 and SOC 2 criteria.

  • Evaluate governance, policies, training programs, and change management processes. Test resilience through scenario simulations and historical breach analysis.

  • Model impact scenarios from vendor failures, such as data leaks or service outages. Score risks by likelihood, financial exposure, and regulatory fallout to pinpoint high-stakes concerns.

  • Compare vendors against industry peers and best-in-class standards. Identify deviations in controls, reporting, and SLAs, flagging opportunities for immediate uplift.

  • Craft tailored strategies, including contract clauses, audit schedules, and exit plans. Define metrics for continuous vendor oversight and escalation protocols.
