VENDOR RISK MANAGEMENT

Third-Party Vendor Risk Assessments

Inherited vendor risk is still your risk. Our third-party security assessments give you defensible insights—fast, focused, and built for real decisions.

Start with a Third-Party Security Assessment  

If your vendor ecosystem is outpacing your visibility, we’re ready to help. 

Our assessments are structured, practical, and built to give you the insight and structure to manage third-party cyber risk without slowing anything down. 

You’ll get a full review of your current process, prioritized findings, and a clear path forward—delivered by security professionals who understand the stakes. 

Third Parties Are Part of Your Attack Surface 

Third-party vendors widen your reach and your attack surface. Without a credible assessment process, you could be inheriting unknown vulnerabilities from systems and providers you don’t fully control. 

A focused third-party security assessment gives you what templated reviews don’t: real visibility into who your vendors are, what they can access, and how well they can defend it. It’s a critical step in keeping your security posture resilient and your vendor relationships accountable. 

How Vendor Risk Shows Up Before Becoming a Problem 

Vendor-related risk doesn’t always show up as a clear warning. Sometimes, it’s a rushed tool rollout without validated controls. Other times, it’s a failed audit control that leads back to a vendor or a board inquiry that surfaces questions your team can’t fully answer. 

That’s when a third-party security assessment becomes less of a checkbox and more of a safeguard. 

We Go Beyond the Questionnaire  

Carson & SAINT helps you move beyond templated checklists and surface-level scoring. We look deeper—so you’re not making decisions based on vendor promises you can’t validate.

You’ll leave with a clear, defensible view of third-party cyber risk and a strategy to reduce it. 

The Value Isn’t the Report. It’s the Judgment. 

 

Most vendor assessments start and stop with paperwork. We focus on what’s actually at risk. 

Carson & SAINT helps security and compliance teams cut through the noise, validate what matters, and deliver insights that hold up in front of execs, auditors, and regulators. Our clients value: 

  • Strategic focus: clear priorities over excessive findings 
  • Collaborative delivery: assessments that work with, not around, internal teams 
  • Credible outcomes: actionable insights backed by deep expertise 

Whether you’re responding to board scrutiny, expanding vendor relationships, or formalizing your third-party risk program, we help you move forward with accuracy and confidence.
