See past your vendors to the subprocessors and software they depend on.
Follow the dependency behind the supplier.
Risk teams see where a change could matter.
Your risk doesn't stop at your direct vendors. It runs through their subprocessors, the cloud they're hosted on, and the software components inside their product. When a fourth party fails, you feel it, even though you never assessed it.
Coverbase extends your risk picture down the chain. It maps the subprocessors and cloud infrastructure your vendors depend on, ingests SBOMs to see the software components inside the products you use, and surfaces concentration risk where many of your vendors quietly rely on the same fourth party. When a fourth-party issue or vulnerability lands, you can see which vendors list it.
Close the supply-chain blind spot.
- 01
Subprocessor mapping
See the fourth parties behind your direct vendors, pulled from SOC 2 subservice disclosures and trust pages.
- Know who's really in the chain.
- 02
SBOM and software components
Ingest software bills of materials to see the components inside the products you use, and who's exposed when one has a vulnerability.
- 03
Cloud and infrastructure dependencies
Map the cloud and infrastructure your vendors run on, so you know which vendors a provider outage affects.
- 04
Concentration risk
Spot where many vendors depend on the same fourth party, the single point of failure that diversification won't fix.
Risk visibility that runs down the chain.
Past the third party
Visibility into the fourth parties you never assessed.
SBOM visibility
Know the software components inside your stack.
Exposure on demand
When a fourth party fails, know who's affected.
Concentration surfaced
See shared dependencies before they cause an outage.
Refreshed with new evidence
Dependencies refreshed as new evidence arrives.
“When a widely used component had a vulnerability, we knew which vendors were affected in minutes, not weeks.”
Fourth parties mapped
Beyond your direct vendors.
SBOMs ingested
Components as well as vendors.
Concentration surfaced
Shared dependencies revealed.
Exposure in minutes
Not weeks of emails.
How we find downstream risk.
Where the dependency map gets its evidence.
Where do the relationships come from?
We read SOC 2 subservice disclosures and vendor trust pages. The map reflects the evidence suppliers provide.
Which SBOM formats can you parse?
We parse CycloneDX JSON and SPDX JSON. We can store other formats without component parsing.
Can I search for a fourth party across vendors?
Yes. Our nth-party search, also available through the Coverbase MCP server, covers the vendor relationships available to your program.
Do we still assess the direct supplier?
Yes. We add downstream context to the direct vendor assessment and monitoring process.
