What We Do for You

  • Build the register of who has access to what.
  • Assess each supplier against a proportionate standard.
  • Get security and breach-notice terms into the contracts.
  • Monitor critical suppliers between reviews.
  • Handle a supplier breach with a written plan.

How this is bought: Bought as an assessment first, then a project priced from what the assessment finds. Build an estimate for your case.

Our Approaches Explained

Supplier inventory and tiering

Ranking suppliers by the damage a failure at their end would cause.

Proportionate due diligence

Contractual security terms

Breach notification windows, right to audit, data location and deletion on exit.

Fourth-party awareness

Knowing who your suppliers depend on in turn.

Continuous monitoring

Watching for breaches and posture changes at critical suppliers.
