Vendor Risk Management for financial services

Protect your supplier ecosystem with continuous third-party monitoring, streamlined vendor assessments, and time-saving compliance questionnaires for financial organizations.

Third party and supplier risk
Trusted by thousands of security teams across the globe

Cyber attacks cost financial services an average of $5.9 million per breach and third parties are nearly always the point of entry.

Cyber attacks cost Indian Banking and Financial Services Institutions (BFSI) an average of Rs. 19.5 crore per breach and third parties are nearly always the point of entry.

In the last three years, more than a quarter of financial institutions suffered disruption, monetary loss, or reputational damage because of a third party.
Without a proactive approach to third-party risk management, your organization could be in danger.
