Supply Chain &
Third-Party Risk
Some of the worst breaches start with a trusted supplier, not the target itself. We build third-party risk programs that give you real visibility into every vendor, partner and supplier touching your systems or your data, and a practical way to manage the risk they bring with them.
- Third-party risk management (TPRM) program design and operation
- Supplier security questionnaire design and assessment
- Vendor due diligence for new procurement and contract renewals
- Software supply chain security review and SBOM analysis
- Ongoing supplier monitoring and periodic reassessment
- Contractual security requirements and clause advisory
- Critical supplier identification and tiered risk classification
- Supply chain incident response planning
Common Questions
What is third-party risk management?
Knowing which vendors and suppliers can hurt you, how badly, and what you're doing about it - as an ongoing program, not a spreadsheet from 2023. Some of the worst breaches in Australia arrived through a trusted supplier.
We have hundreds of vendors - do we assess them all?
No. Tiering is the whole game: the critical few who touch your systems or data get real assessment; the long tail gets proportionate checks. Effort should follow risk.
What is an SBOM?
A Software Bill of Materials - the ingredient list of components inside software you buy or build. When the next library-level vulnerability lands, an SBOM is the difference between knowing your exposure in an hour and finding out from the news.
