Third Party Risk Management

Suppliers, service providers and technology partners often handle sensitive information or support critical business processes. A cybersecurity weakness at one of these organisations can create operational, compliance and reputational risk for your business.

Athena-Dfenz helps organisations establish a proportionate third-party risk management process. We focus assessment effort on the vendors that matter most, document material findings and support clear decisions on remediation, acceptance and ongoing oversight.

​

We help you to manage:

• Vendor inventory and identification of critical suppliers

• Risk tiering based on access, data, connectivity and business dependency

• Security questionnaires and due-diligence requirements

• Review of policies, reports, certifications and other supporting evidence

• Identification and prioritisation of third-party security gaps

• Remediation tracking and documented risk decisions

• Periodic reassessment based on vendor criticality

• Exit or offboarding security considerations
