Third-party risk is one of the most significant and least-managed governance challenges for SMEs. Our supplier assurance module provides structured due diligence, ongoing monitoring, and audit-ready supplier records — on subscription.
Risk Tiering Framework
Suppliers with access to sensitive data or systems whose failure would cause significant business disruption. Quarterly review cycle, full due diligence.
Suppliers with material data access or significant operational dependency. Bi-annual review, targeted due diligence questionnaire.
Suppliers with limited data access or moderate operational impact. Annual review, standard due diligence.
Suppliers with no data access and low operational impact. Biennial review, lightweight assurance check.
Module Capabilities
From initial supplier discovery through to ongoing monitoring — every stage of the supplier assurance lifecycle, managed as a subscription service.
Identify and classify all third-party suppliers by risk tier — critical, high, medium, and low — based on data access, business dependency, and regulatory exposure.
Structured questionnaire workflows tailored to supplier risk tier. Automated chasing, response tracking, and evidence collection built in.
Map and monitor key contractual obligations — data processing agreements, security clauses, audit rights — across your entire supplier base.
Scheduled review cycles for each supplier tier. Continuous monitoring for material changes, incidents, and certification lapses.
Structured processes for managing supplier security incidents, data breaches, and service failures — with escalation paths and regulatory notification support.
A complete, auditor-ready supplier assurance record for every third party — due diligence evidence, risk assessments, review history, and contractual documentation.
How It Works
We work with your procurement and operations teams to build a complete inventory of all third-party suppliers and service providers.
Each supplier is assessed and classified by risk tier based on data access, business criticality, and regulatory exposure.
Tailored due diligence questionnaires are issued to suppliers by tier. Responses are tracked, reviewed, and stored as evidence.
Scheduled review cycles, continuous monitoring, and incident management keep your supplier assurance programme current and audit-ready.
