Third-Party Risk Management

TruTek has designed and implemented third-party risk management (TPRM) programs for organizations across various industries for more than a decade. We specialize in identifying, assessing, and monitoring the various risks associated with third-party relationships, helping to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your critical data assets.

Managing Risks Associated with Third Parties

Twenty percent of data breaches results from inadequate vetting of third parties. With growing reliance on external partners, the need for a robust program to address this risk becomes increasingly urgent.

Our Approach to Third-Party Risk Management

Various third-party entities pose a direct threat to data security, with some of the most significant breaches linked to HVAC contractors, facilities maintenance providers, and payment systems vendors rather than traditional IT or financial services providers. TruTek assists clients in navigating this expanding frontier of data privacy and security by developing and implementing third-party risk management programs tailored to organizations of all sizes. Leveraging our extensive experience, we design programs that align with your business requirements and safeguard your assets.

How TruTek Works

Addressing third-party risk can be challenging to handle independently. Our approach is adaptable to your needs, streamlines assessments, and often utilizes existing software.

Comprehensive Third-Party Profiles

Initiating each third-party risk management assessment involves creating detailed profiles for each vendor, categorizing them by service, data type, and inherent risk rating.

Risk Framework and Assessments

We then craft a customized risk management framework based on your specific needs, administering assessments to vendors through questionnaires or on-site visits according to their inherent risk rating.

Risk Mitigation

Following vendor assessments, we assign a final risk rating, establish and document risk management practices, and help set up continuous monitoring.

Comprehensive Reporting and Dashboarding

TruTek develops dashboards tailored to different stakeholders within your organization—executives, business owners, and team leaders—providing a transparent view of business risks.
