VENDOR & PARTNER RISK
Securesult’s team of experienced professionals can help you to identify, assess, and mitigate your vendor and partner risks.
Our experienced consultants help you to identify, assess, and manage the risks posed by third-party vendors and partners. This important process can have a significant impact on your business, as suppliers and partners can pose a substantial risk to your organisation’s security, compliance, and reputation.
70% of organisations do not have complete transparency and oversight of their supply chain, and as a result, run the risk of damages such as the loss or theft of sensitive data, supply chain failures, damaged brand reputation, and loss of consumer goodwill. The consequences of these losses can lead to investor attrition, non-compliance across a broad range of regulations and indicators, and third-party fatigue due to repetitive processes.
Securesult is committed to helping clients manage their vendor and partner risk effectively by providing a comprehensive range of services and using a variety of methods tailored to individual needs. With a clear understanding of these risks, organisations can build trust, resilience, and improve relationships with clients, giving them a competitive advantage.

Why Securesult?
Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating the risks posed by third-party vendors and partners.
Securesult deliver risk services using a collaborative approach, working with you to understand your organisation’s specific needs, developing a risk management program that works for you. Our consultants also provide training and support to help your staff implement and maintain the finalised program, ensuring it remains effective when we hand the reins back over to you.
TPRM is critical for organisations of all sizes, helping to protect against a wide range of risks, including:
Data breaches: TPRM programs can help to identify and mitigate the risk of data breaches caused by third-party vendors and partners. This includes assessing the security posture of third parties, implementing security controls, and monitoring for threats.
Ransomware attacks: TPRM programs can help to reduce the risk of ransomware attacks by ensuring that third parties have adequate security controls in place. This includes implementing firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data encryption.
Denial-of-service attacks: TPRM programs can help to mitigate the risk of denial-of-service attacks by ensuring that third parties have adequate network capacity and security controls in place.
Malware attacks: TPRM programs can help to reduce the risk of malware attacks by ensuring that third parties have implemented adequate security controls such as antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.
Supply chain attacks: TPRM programs can help to mitigate the risk of supply chain attacks by assessing the security posture of third parties, ensuring they have implemented security controls, and monitoring for threats.
