Third-Party Risk Management

Manage the vendor relationship, not just the questionnaire.

AIRRP maintains third parties as persistent enterprise objects across services, risk tier, assessments, findings, treatment, monitoring, renewal, change and offboarding.

Why it matters

Portfolio-level third-party risk.

Vendor risk becomes more useful when it is connected to the services, applications, data and business processes that depend on the vendor. AIRRP brings that context into the third-party lifecycle.

01

Onboard & Profile

Capture the vendor, services, access, processing and enterprise dependencies.

02

Tier & Scope

Determine inherent criticality and the right assessment depth.

03

Assess

Run risk-based third-party assessments with governed evidence.

04

Findings & Treatment

Track remediation, exceptions, owners and due dates.

05

Monitor & Renew

Review changes, cadence, expiring evidence and reassessment needs.

06

Portfolio Risk

Connect third-party issues into the enterprise risk portfolio.

Not every vendor needs the same questionnaire.

Risk-based assessment depth

Assessment scope can be based on services, data access, criticality, technology dependency and other governed factors.

  • Inherent risk tier
  • Service criticality
  • Data / access context
  • Assessment cadence
  • Evidence requirements
Vendor assurance should not start from zero.

Reuse what AIRRP already knows

Existing controls, evidence, application context and prior assessment history can inform the next vendor cycle when still valid and in scope.

  • Prior evidence
  • Recurring assessment history
  • Known findings
  • Enterprise dependencies
  • Change intelligence
Know what depends on the third party.

Connect vendor risk to business impact

A vendor finding has different significance when it supports a critical business service, processes sensitive data or creates concentration risk.

  • Dependency mapping
  • Concentration risk
  • Critical-service context
  • Data-processing context
  • Enterprise-risk correlation
