Know what you are buying
We research the supplier and the requested service when the purchase request arrives, so the review starts with the relationship, not an empty questionnaire.

Put risk at the start of procurement.
We research the supplier at intake, read its evidence against your controls and carry findings into ongoing oversight. You see the risk before a purchase becomes a dependency.
Risk enters with the first request.
A supplier asking for access to customer data should not reach the contract stage before security sees the request. We put the relevant checks into intake, when there is still time to act on them.

A design tool and a core banking provider do not call for the same review. We use your controls and the supplier's access, spend, and role to organize the work.
Carry findings forward
If an assessment finds a control gap, keep the finding tied to the supplier and its follow-up, so the gap becomes work with an owner before the next renewal.
Different exposures need different questions.
We bring the right evidence into each review. Your team sets the policy and decides which issues matter most for this supplier.
- Financial
- Look at the supplier's resilience and the commercial terms of the relationship.
- Regulatory
- Check the obligations and records your program must maintain.
- Security
- Read the SOC 2 and assess access to systems or sensitive data.
- Operational
- Track dependencies and what changes after the agreement is signed.
The review does not end at signature.
A control can fail or a dependency can change months after onboarding. We keep the supplier record connected to monitoring, findings, and the people responsible for them.
Monitor the relationship
Nationwide added continuous monitoring of third-party cyber events within its first six months using Coverbase.
Track the finding
Coastal put an assessment finding into a vendor contract with a remediation deadline. The issue became work with an owner and a date.
Keep the evidence
Connect a change to the original assessment and the controls it affects, so your team can revisit the decision with the record in front of them.
