Third Party Risk
Assessment

Your security posture is only as strong as your weakest vendor. We evaluate the cyber risk and compliance posture of your suppliers, SaaS providers, and critical third parties at scale.

What We Assess in Your Third Party Ecosystem

Comprehensive vendor risk coverage spanning security questionnaires, external attack surface review, risk scoring, and continuous monitoring.

Vendor Security Questionnaires

Standardised and custom questionnaires mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2, and DPDP Act requirements for comprehensive vendor assessment.

External Attack Surface Review

Passive reconnaissance of vendor infrastructure including open ports, misconfigurations, and exposed data without requiring vendor cooperation.

Risk Scoring and Tiering

Quantitative risk scores and vendor tiers to prioritise remediation efforts and focus resources on the highest-risk relationships.

Maturity Assessment

Evaluate vendor security programme maturity against industry frameworks to determine whether their security practices meet your requirements.

Compliance Verification

Verify vendor compliance claims against certifications, audit reports, and actual security posture observed through external reconnaissance.

Audit Report Review

Review vendor SOC 2 reports, ISO 27001 certificates, and penetration test summaries for security gaps and control exceptions.

Continuous Monitoring

Ongoing vendor risk tracking with alerts on security posture changes, new exposures, data breach announcements, and compliance status updates.

Contractual Compliance Review

Review vendor contracts for security SLAs, data processing agreements, audit rights, breach notification clauses, and liability provisions.

Breach Notification Tracking

Monitor and alert on third-party data breaches affecting your vendors, assess impact on your data, and track vendor response effectiveness.

Data Processing Assessment

Evaluate how vendors process, store, and transmit your data including data residency, encryption practices, and access controls.

Regulatory Change Tracking

Track regulatory changes affecting vendor compliance obligations and alert when vendor contracts or practices need updating.

Trend Analysis

Track vendor risk trends over time, identify deteriorating security postures, and generate quarterly reports for risk committees and boards.

Fourth-Party Risk Visibility

Map and assess the sub-vendors your critical suppliers rely on, surfacing hidden concentration and supply chain risks.

Vendor Dependency Mapping

Visualise your vendor ecosystem, identify single points of failure, and assess the cascading impact of vendor compromise.

Concentration Risk

Identify over-concentration of critical services in a single vendor or geographic region that creates systemic risk to your operations.

Software Supply Chain

Assess open-source dependencies, third-party libraries, and software components used by your vendors for known vulnerabilities.

Access and Integration Review

Review what data and systems each vendor can access, assess integration security, and validate principle of least privilege enforcement.

Incident Impact Assessment

When a vendor is breached, assess the blast radius, determine which of your data and systems are affected, and recommend immediate actions.

How We Run a Third Party Risk Assessment

A structured six-phase programme that scales from a handful of critical vendors to your entire supply chain.

Phase 01
Vendor Inventory

Catalogue all third parties including SaaS, cloud, professional services, and critical infrastructure providers across your organisation.

01
02
Phase 02
Risk Tiering

Classify vendors by criticality, data access level, and regulatory relevance to focus assessment effort on the highest-risk relationships.

Phase 03
Assessment

Deploy security questionnaires and perform external attack surface reconnaissance for each vendor tier with standardised evaluation criteria.

03
04
Phase 04
Risk Scoring

Score each vendor quantitatively across security controls, compliance, breach history, and external exposure with clear risk tier assignments.

Phase 05
Remediation Plan

Issue vendor-specific remediation requirements and contract clause recommendations with timelines and escalation procedures for non-compliance.

06
Phase 06
Continuous Monitoring

Ongoing vendor risk monitoring with automated alerts on posture changes, annual re-assessment for critical vendors, and quarterly risk reporting.

Who Needs Third Party Risk Assessment

Large Enterprises and Conglomerates

Organisations with complex vendor ecosystems and hundreds of third-party relationships requiring systematic risk management at scale.

Banks and Financial Institutions

Financial institutions with regulatory obligations for vendor risk management under RBI, SEBI, and Basel III operational risk requirements.

Compliance-Driven Organisations

Companies subject to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or DPDP Act requirements that mandate third-party risk assessment and vendor due diligence.

Questions We Get Asked Often

Third-party risk assessment evaluates the cyber risk and compliance posture of your suppliers, SaaS providers, and critical vendors. It covers security questionnaires, external attack surface review, risk scoring, continuous monitoring, and contractual compliance to protect your organisation from supply chain attacks.

62% of data breaches originate from third parties. Your security is only as strong as your weakest vendor. Without systematic vendor risk assessment, you have blind spots that attackers increasingly exploit through supply chain attacks.

A TPRA engagement includes vendor inventory, risk tiering, security questionnaires, external attack surface reconnaissance, quantitative risk scoring, remediation planning, and continuous monitoring with automated alerts on posture changes.

Not entirely. While questionnaires and document reviews require vendor cooperation, our external attack surface reconnaissance is passive and does not require vendor involvement. This provides an independent view of their actual security posture.

We map the sub-vendors that your critical suppliers rely on, assess concentration risk, and surface hidden dependencies. This fourth-party visibility reveals risks that traditional vendor assessments miss entirely.
