Defensible vendor vetting processes that scale from small SaaS tools to enterprise cloud providers.

ONBOARDING & TIERING

Vendor Profiling & Risk Tiering

Establishing a standardized process to evaluate vendors based on data access, operational criticality, and network connectivity before they hit production.

  • Inherent risk calculation
  • Criticality tiering (Tier 1-4)
  • Data classification mapping
  • Custom onboarding workflows
DUE DILIGENCE

Security & Privacy Assessments

Conducting rigorous evaluations of vendor controls using customized questionnaires, evidence collection, and automated attack surface scanning.

  • SIG / CAIQ questionnaire reviews
  • SOC 2 & ISO 27001 evidence validation
  • Automated external posture scanning
  • On-site/virtual audit execution
MONITORING

Continuous Risk Monitoring

Moving beyond point-in-time assessments. We implement continuous monitoring to detect breaches, vulnerabilities, or deterioration in a vendor's security posture.

  • Threat intelligence feeds integration
  • Dark web credential monitoring
  • Periodic reassessment scheduling
  • Incident response coordination
The Supply Chain Threat

You Outsource the Service, Not the Risk

Modern enterprises are highly interconnected ecosystems. When your HR portal, billing provider, or IT analytics vendor gets breached, your data is compromised, your reputation suffers, and regulatory fines fall on your shoulders.

Our TPRM services shift your vendor security program from a reactive compliance headache into a proactive, continuous defense mechanism that blocks compromised vendors from accessing your network.

Nearly 62% of major data breaches originate through a third-party vendor or supply chain partner.
Most organizations rely on point-in-time spreadsheets that are instantly outdated upon submission.
Regulatory bodies (like the SEC, RBI, and under DORA) are now holding primary organizations fully accountable for third-party failures.

SaaS Expansion

Controlling the shadow IT of unsanctioned software procurement.

Data Sovereignty

Ensuring overseas vendors handle regional PII legally.

Ransomware Pivot

Stopping threat actors from moving from a vendor into your environment.

4th Party Risk

Tracking when your vendors outsource your data further.

Our Process

5-Phase TPRM Lifecycle

An end-to-end framework for vetting and managing external partnerships safely.

01

Program Design & Governance

Establishing policies, defining risk appetite, and creating a Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) framework tailored to your business.

02

Inventory & Categorization

Discovering all existing vendors and categorizing them based on their access to PII, PHI, financial data, and critical systems.

03

Assessment Execution

Deploying tailored question sets and gathering technical evidence (penetration tests, SOC 2 reports) commensurate to the vendor's tier.

04

Risk Mitigation & Remediation

Collaborating with vendors to mitigate identified gaps before contract execution or setting binding timelines for remediation.

05

Lifecycle Management

Establishing continuous monitoring, annual reassessment schedules, and secure offboarding procedures for departing vendors.

Coverage

What We Evaluate In Vendors

Our due diligence goes beyond basic checklists to evaluate genuine security maturity.

Information Security

Evaluating vendor access controls, encryption standards, IAM, and physical security measures.

Data Privacy

Ensuring vendors comply with GDPR, CCPA, and DPDP regarding data handling, storage, and cross-border transfer.

Business Continuity

Validating vendor BDR capabilities to ensure your operations survive their downtime.

Fourth-Party Risk

Assessing the risks associated with your vendors' own supply chain and sub-contractors.

Compliance & Legal

Reviewing SLA commitments, right-to-audit clauses, and regulatory compliance mapping.

Concentration Risk

Identifying over-reliance on a single vendor or geographic region to prevent systemic failures.

Why Adayptus

Rigorous Vendor Assurance

We filter the marketing noise from the technical reality to ensure your supply chain is actually secure.

Beyond Spreadsheets

We transition clients from cumbersome Excel-based questionnaires to automated, workflow-driven TPRM capabilities.

Contextual Risk

We assess the vendor based on how they actually integrate with your environment, not generic templates.

Evidence Verification

We don't take 'Yes' for an answer. We demand and verify technical evidence supporting questionnaire claims.

Full Lifecycle

We manage risk from initial procurement vetting through continuous monitoring to secure offboarding.
