Third-Party Risk Management
Strengthen Your Vendor Ecosystem. Validate Controls. Reduce Exposure. Maintain Trust.
MITIGATE THIRD-PARTY RISK WITH CONFIDENCE AND CONTROL

IMPLEMENT CONTROLS ACROSS COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTS
Implementing controls in a complex, diverse organization is a challenge that requires a well-defined approach and management buy-in to achieve. Success requires balancing known and unknown organizational, personal, and cultural issues.
MANAGE YOUR THIRD-PARTY RISK
Managing third-party vendor risk is not always straight forward and as businesses mature, they require a diverse approach to scaling that does not include just doing more questionnaires.
EFFECTIVELY MANAGE VULNERABILITIES
Vulnerability management has grown more complex as organizations shift from on-prem to the cloud, frequently introducing new technologies with limited oversight. Gaining control is critical to risk reduction.
PLAN FOR RESILIENCE
Cybersecurity resilience and organizational roadmaps should not be planned ad-hoc. Having a well-defined, repeatable, and flexible process for risk management and quantification provides the appropriate business context to make timely decisions and provide actionable reports to stakeholders.
EFFECTIVE THREAT RESPONSE
Creating an effective threat response that safeguards the interests of the organization’s key stakeholders, reputation, brand, financial loss exposure and value-creating activities is complex but critical.
DATA GOVERNANCE REVIEW
Understanding what data you control, how its managed, where it’s stored, and the policies in place to support those efforts requires a thorough review to sufficiently understand risk exposure and mitigating controls.
AUTOMATED, SCALABLE OVERSIGHT FOR A CONNECTED ECOSYSTEM
SDG’s Third-Party Risk Management as a Service (TPRMaaS) delivers end-to-end visibility and control through the combined power of TruOps and Panorays.
