Sound familiar?

What people tell us first.

You know third-party risk matters. You’re just not sure you’re doing enough, or the right thing. Every part of your business depends on suppliers, yet the risk often sits with one person, or no one.

Both directions

Risk runs both ways. So does our third-party intelligence.

Risk runs both ways. So does our third‑party intelligence.

You rely on suppliers. Customers rely on you. We give you insight on the first and evidence for the second, so what you demand and what you can prove always line up.

Who’s behind it

Experienced people. Sharper intelligence.

Every engagement is led by practitioners who’ve managed supply chain risk on some of the UK’s most critical programmes. Platforms handle the data. The harder part is getting every part of the business, from procurement to the board, to own its share. That’s where we spend our time, and we leave your team more capable than we found it.

We build your supplier picture from your systems and spend, not just the procurement register, then show which relationships are live, which have lapsed and where risk concentrates.

Has your supply chain?

From the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to NIS2 and DORA, you’re now accountable for the suppliers you rely on, and expected to prove it. These eight expectations come up every time.

From the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to NIS2 and DORA, you’re now accountable for the suppliers you rely on, and expected to prove it. These eight expectations come up every time.

Continuous, not annual

Ongoing monitoring of supplier services replaces the yearly questionnaire.

DORA · ISO/IEC 27001 A.5.22

Deeper visibility

See beyond tier one. Regulators can now designate critical suppliers in their own right.

NCSC PRINCIPLES · CS&R BILL

Board-level accountability

The management body owns third-party risk, and can be held to account for it.

NIS2 ART. 20 · DORA ART. 5

Proportionate approach

Controls scaled to each supplier’s criticality, not one size for all.

NIS2 ART. 21 · DORA ART. 4

Resilience focus

Plan for supplier failure, with tested exit strategies, not just compliance.

DORA ART. 28 · ISO 22301

Evidence-based assurance

Outcomes you can demonstrate to an auditor or regulator, not self-attestation.

NCSC CAF · ISO/IEC 27001

Formal risk management

A documented strategy, a register of third parties and recorded treatment decisions.

DORA ART. 28 · ISO 28000

Incident reporting in hours

24-hour early warnings mean your suppliers must tell you fast, and you must act faster.

NIS2 ART. 23 · CS&R BILL

Our method

Six stages. One continuous chain.

One lifecycle, whichever way the risk flows. Baselined once, then kept running.

CONTINUOUS

01

Identify

Identify and categorise every supplier by criticality and security exposure.

02

Map

Trace dependencies through the sub-tiers to reveal cascading risk.

03

Assess

Test control effectiveness, in proportion to each supplier’s tier.

04

Fix

Remediation, contract clauses and exit plans.

05

Measure

Track performance with live metrics and continuous monitoring.

06

Assure

Validate compliance and give your board and customers confidence.
