Third-Party Risk Assessments

In today's interconnected business environment, your security is only as strong as your weakest link. As organizations increasingly rely on third-party vendors and partners, a single vulnerability can compromise your entire network. Recognizing this critical challenge, Kustos has developed a comprehensive Third-Party Risk Assessment service to help you gain visibility into your extended ecosystem, identify potential vulnerabilities, and implement effective controls to mitigate risks associated with third-party relationships. Our Third-Party Risk Assessment service helps you:

Comprehensive Inventory

Identify and catalog all third-party relationships. We help you create and maintain a complete inventory of all vendors, suppliers, and partners who have access to your systems or data. This inventory serves as the foundation for your third-party risk management program

Control Implementation

Develop and implement controls to mitigate third-party risks. We work with you to establish and enforce appropriate security measures, contractual agreements, and monitoring processes to minimize risks associated with third-party relationships

Risk Evaluation

Assess the potential risks each third party introduces to your environment. Our team conducts thorough evaluations using questionnaires, documentation reviews, and technical assessments to build a comprehensive risk profile for each third party

Ongoing Monitoring

Continuously monitor third-party security postures. Our service provides ongoing surveillance of your third parties' security practices, alerting you to any changes or emerging risks that could impact your organization
