Third-party management

Five hundred suppliers. Six decisions a week.

Your supply base does not need more alerts. It needs a system that knows which suppliers matter, watches them in your context, and interrupts you only when a human judgement is genuinely required — then proves every call it made.

The gap

Everything you've been sold does one half of the job.

01
Questionnaire platforms

Good at collecting. Blind to what happens next.

They gather answers on a schedule. Between those dates the supplier can be breached, acquired or fail — and nothing in the tool notices.

02
Security ratings

A letter grade, and the judgement is still yours.

An outside-in scan, compressed to a score. It knows nothing about what the supplier does for you — so every alert still lands on a human to triage.

03
The spreadsheet

Tiers set by feel, defended by nobody.

The column that decides audit depth, monitoring cadence and exit plans — set once at onboarding, by whoever filled the form, on criteria nobody wrote down.

Regulators have stopped accepting the halves. NIS2 and DORA want a documented method and continuous oversight and the rationale for each decision.

What we do differently

Three things, and they compound.

Not more features. A different relationship between the work and the evidence it produces.

01 — Classification

Every tier can answer “why?” — in one click.

Your classification method is agreed once, with your CISO, and then sealed. From that moment every supplier's tier carries its own derivation: what it was based on, where each input came from, and who applied it. The auditor's hardest question stops being a project.

02 — Monitoring

An autopilot that decides, not a feed that pings.

Every supplier is reviewed on a cadence its tier earns, and read in your context — what they provide you, how deeply they are wired in, what you told us would matter. Most days, for most suppliers, the answer is silence. When it isn't, you get a decision-ready case, not a score change.

One of six this week — the rest was logged, not lost
03 — Silence

The weeks nothing happened are evidence too.

Continuous oversight is a regulatory obligation, and a live dashboard cannot prove it — a screenshot only ever shows now. Every review we run is recorded, including the thousands that surface nothing, and sealed weekly. “Show me your monitoring for week 29” becomes one link.

Assessment tells you what was true in March. This tells you what is true now — and can prove it was watching in between.

The supplier side

Your analysts read the flagged three, not the forty.

The expensive part of an assessment programme is not sending it. It is reading forty returns that say “yes”, “N/A” and “see attached” with nothing attached.

No accounts

A private link, not a portal to onboard.

Suppliers answer without a licence, a login, or a password reset at the moment of maximum reluctance.

Held to the clause

Weak answers get pushed back at the source.

A vague response is challenged while the supplier is still engaged — specifically, and constructively — rather than discovered weeks later at review.

Proportionate

Depth follows the tier, automatically.

Your critical suppliers get the deep assessment. The long tail gets something they can actually complete. Effort lands where the risk is.

Candour

What this page deliberately leaves out.

You have just read what the system does and why it is different. You have not read how — how a supplier is scored, how the engine decides that one finding deserves a human and another does not, or how it learns from the calls you make.

That is deliberate, and we would rather say so than pretend this is everything. The mechanism is the part that took years, and it is the part a competitor would copy from a landing page.
