Secure Your Supply Chain Before You Sign the Contract

​

In today’s interconnected digital ecosystem, third-party vendors often have direct access to critical systems and sensitive data. Ensuring these external partners meet your security expectations before procurement is essential. Our Third-Party Risk & Security Readiness Assessment equips your organization with a clear view of vendor risks, helping you make confident, compliant, and secure procurement decisions.

Our Methodology

​

  • End-to-End Risk Profiling: We perform in-depth assessments of vendors' security architecture, practices, and policies, aligned with Zero Trust, secure connectivity, and least privilege principles to minimize risk exposure.

  • Control Framework Validation: Our experts review and validate the presence of core controls—such as encryption, access controls, logging, and incident response—as well as business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) readiness.

  • Compliance & Certification Verification: We analyze security attestations, audit reports, and certifications (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, GDPR), ensuring your vendors meet recognized industry standards and regulatory requirements.

  • Integration & Exposure Review: We evaluate how third-party solutions will interact with your environment—covering API usage, identity federation (SAML, OIDC), network segmentation, and secure key management—to ensure safe and seamless integration.

  • Post-Procurement Monitoring Strategy: We provide recommendations for ongoing vendor risk management, including SLAs, periodic reviews, and contract-based security expectations.

​

Key Benefits

​

  • Informed Procurement Decisions: Understand a vendor’s security posture before signing, reducing the risk of downstream vulnerabilities and noncompliance.
