  • Evaluate data governance and privacy controls

  • Align with regulatory frameworks (e.g. NIST, PIPEDA, GDPR)

  • Prepare for customer or investor due diligence

  • Develop actionable remediation roadmaps

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)

Your customers and vendors are part of your risk profile.

 

We lead the third-party risk assessment questionnaires that your customers require to be completed prior to signing a contract with you. We also design and implement Third-Party Risk Management frameworks that:
 

  • Identify and tier critical vendors

  • Standardize due diligence procedures

  • Assess vendor cybersecurity posture

  • Strengthen audit defensibility
     

A structured TPRM program supports growth while maintaining operational flexibility.

  • SOX compliance programs

  • IT General Controls (ITGC)

With deep experience and a strong network of experts, we help ensure a smooth, efficient certification and audit process—minimizing delays and maximizing alignment.
