TPRM Program Maturity Assessment

We partner with you to perform a comprehensive assessment to help take stock of your current TPRM program across several foundational areas. From there, we provide a holistic view of your program, identify risks, establish a target-state, and provide actionable recommendations to improve your unique environment.

TPRM Assessment Scoping

Scoping vendor assessments is a significant challenge for many companies. Those that fail to do this properly cause delays and strain to the outsourcer/vendor relationship. It is important to engage as quickly and seamlessly as possible with a new vendor, or with a new scope of work for an existing vendor, so you need to ask the right questions and review the appropriate documentation to ensure proper due diligence. We can work with you to define your risk tolerance and establish the questions and criteria needed for a proper vendor assessment that is pertinent to the scope of work.

TPRM Remediation & Support

After completing our TPRM Maturity Assessment, we focus on remediation activities for your organization’s unique third-party environment to help you achieve a higher state of TPRM maturity.

Here are some common remediation activities that we help our clients achieve:

• TPRM process augmentation
• Third-Party risk assessment development
• Risk register and control library enhancement
• Third-Party inventory rationalization

TPRM Strategy

TPRM is not a “one size fits all” exercise, so we partner with you to customize a strategy that is right for your organization. Whether you are just starting out on your journey or have an established program, we collaborate to meet you where you are.

Areas where we focus include:

• Third-Party risk identification
• Third-Party criticality rating
• Program governance development
• Policy and procedure development
• Contract management

TPRM Technology Implementations

Given the number of third parties that organizations use and the complexity they bring, it is very difficult to effectively manage a TPRM program without the use of a technology platform. We partner with you to implement and end-to-end platform that supports your unique TPRM program through the following:

• Business and functional requirement development
• Process design
• Tool configuration
• Data ingestion
• Organizational training
• Ongoing support

Vendor Intelligence Center

Organizations can get so overloaded with vendor-related data that they are unable to process what is important to them, ultimately suffering from “analysis paralysis.” We partner with our clients to operate a vendor intelligence center (VIC) that gathers and interprets vendor-related data from your existing monitoring tools or from our trusted sources.

Our team will interpret and act on the data - based on established risk tolerances - and will brief your stakeholders so they have a better understanding of its importance to your organization so you can respond in kind. We can also provide stakeholders with useful and timely reports that track and monitor the vendor risks over time to provide stakeholders with credible analysis to continue or augment the vendor relationship based on risk.
