SUPPLY CHAIN RISK
Third-party and supply chain risk is one of the leading breach vectors — attackers increasingly compromise suppliers to reach primary targets. CyberHeals builds vendor risk programs that classify supplier criticality, assess controls, and maintain ongoing visibility into your third-party posture before a supplier becomes the entry point.

Vendor inventory and criticality classification by risk tier
Security assessments and questionnaires for critical suppliers
Ongoing vendor risk monitoring and reassessment program
Attackers increasingly compromise trusted suppliers to reach their real targets — bypassing perimeter controls by entering through a vendor with legitimate access. High-profile breaches have entered via software vendors and managed service providers. A third-party risk program maps that exposure and ensures vendors with environment access are assessed and monitored.
We classify vendors by risk tier based on the data they access, the depth of their integration, the criticality of the services they provide, and their regulatory profile. Tier 1 vendors — those with direct system access or sensitive data processing — receive full security assessments. Lower tiers receive questionnaire-based reviews proportionate to their risk level.
A vendor assessment combines a structured security questionnaire covering governance, access controls, incident response, and data handling with a review of the vendor's certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2. For critical vendors, we conduct additional technical due diligence including architecture reviews and contractual clause analysis. Findings are rated and tracked.
Ongoing monitoring tracks changes in vendor risk posture through scheduled reassessments, event-triggered reviews for contract renewals or incidents, and continuous monitoring for highest-risk tiers. We maintain a live vendor risk register your procurement and security teams can use to track remediation commitments and risk acceptance decisions across your portfolio.
Third-party risk management is required under ISO 27001 Annex A.15, GDPR Article 28, DORA, and NIS2. CyberHeals TPRM programs satisfy these requirements — including data processing agreement reviews, audit rights clauses, and evidence packages for certification audits. We also support organizations responding to supplier questionnaires from their own customers.
TPRM engagements are scoped based on the number of vendors, the depth of assessment required per tier, and whether ongoing monitoring is included. We provide a fixed-price proposal after a discovery call covering your vendor inventory size, current program maturity, and regulatory requirements. Ongoing monitoring retainers are available on a monthly subscription basis.
