Third-Party Risk Management
Access Point’s Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) services help organizations gain visibility, reduce supply-chain vulnerabilities, and ensure vendors meet security and compliance expectations. Our experts support your full vendor lifecycle—from onboarding and risk assessments to continuous monitoring and compliance validation—so you can operate with confidence.
Vendor and supply-chain risks are growing—and difficult to control
Organizations rely on an expanding network of third parties, each introducing potential security, operational, and regulatory exposures. Without a structured TPRM program, these risks go undetected until they become costly incidents.
Limited visibility into vendor security practices
Many organizations lack insight into how vendors manage sensitive data, protect systems, and comply with regulatory obligations.
Inconsistent or manual assessment processes
Vendor reviews often rely on spreadsheets, incomplete questionnaires, or outdated documentation—leading to inaccurate or inconsistent results.
Regulatory pressure around third-party oversight
Frameworks like HIPAA, NYDFS, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and GDPR require continuous monitoring of third-party risk, and many organizations struggle to meet these expectations.
High reliance on vendors for critical services
When vendors encounter breaches, outages, or noncompliance, the operational and reputational impact can be severe.
A structured, lifecycle-based approach to managing third-party risk
Access Point delivers a complete TPRM program that standardizes vendor assessments, strengthens oversight, and ensures your third-party ecosystem meets security and compliance requirements.
Vendor risk assessments aligned with leading frameworks
We evaluate third-party controls against standards such as NIST CSF, CIS, HIPAA, NYDFS, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 to identify gaps and risk levels.
Customizable onboarding and due-diligence workflows
Our team builds structured processes—including questionnaires, evidence collection, and scoring models—to ensure every vendor is assessed consistently.
Continuous monitoring and risk reporting
We provide ongoing oversight of vendor performance, incident notifications, control changes, and risk trends, ensuring issues are identified early.
Remediation guidance and vendor collaboration
Access Point works with vendors to address deficiencies, improve controls, and validate remediation actions—reducing risk without slowing operations.
Governance, metrics, and program optimization
We help you define policies, SLAs, risk tiering, and reporting dashboards to mature your TPRM program and meet internal and regulatory expectations.
