We offer comprehensive third-party vendor security reviews to help you assess, categorize, and mitigate security risks across your supply chain. Our tailored approach ensures your vendor relationships align with your organization’s security requirements, reduce exposure to potential breaches, and meet industry compliance standards.  

  Award-winning expertise

Our cyber security team continues to achieve multiple vendor certifications, highly respected industry accreditations and international accolades, demonstrating the breadth, depth and impact of their services.  

Our approach to Third-Party Vendor Security Reviews

We collaborate closely with your organization to assess and categorize third-party vendors based on the sensitivity of the data shared, the type of services they provide, and the potential impact of a breach. Our experts design customized security reviews and questionnaires, aligned with industry standards, to give you a clear view of your vendors’ security postures and to identify any areas of vulnerability.

Our approach includes:

Assessing risk

We assess and categorise third-party vendors based on data sensitivity and breach impact.

Customisation

Questionnaires are tailored to the specific risk level of each vendor. Our reviews are aligned with recognised industry standards.

Review

Upon completion of the security reviews, we provide feedback based on the risk tolerance levels agreed upon by you.

Benefits of Third-party Vendor Security Reviews

By having clear security expectations and regularly assessing vendor performance, organizations can hold third parties accountable and ensure they are meeting required security standards. Furthermore, these reviews are an effective tool for continuous improvement, enabling organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats by regularly updating their security strategies and vendor requirements. This proactive approach strengthens the overall security posture of the organization and its supply chain, reducing long-term risks and enhancing operational resilience.
