Line 09 · Vendor & supply-chain risk

Third-party risk you can prove — not a questionnaire an intern ticked "yes" on.

Your vendors hold your data. This verifies their actual security posture, quantifies the concentration risk, and gives your lawyer the clauses that transfer it — the documentation procurement and auditors ask for.

Vendor Security Assessment

$2,000–$4,000 + HST

Per vendor · annual re-assessment

  • Criticality classification: business impact, data sensitivity, access level
  • Evidence verification: SOC 2 Type II, pen-test summaries, certifications, insurance

  • Contract-clause recommendations (liability, indemnity, 24-hour breach notice)
  • A scored vendor risk register and heat map
Guarantee

Fixed price per vendor. Every finding evidence-backed. Contract redlines go to your lawyer, not filed as legal advice.

Who buys

Procurement, GCs and CFOs who need due-diligence on file

Defensible documentation you can show an auditor or insurer, and a clear picture of where your supply-chain risk concentrates.
