Third-Party Risk: Proactively Uncovering External Threats

Third party risk refers to the potential danger and negative impact on a company’s operations, reputation, and financial stability due to its relationship with external parties, such as vendors, suppliers, contractors, and business partners.

Proactively uncovering external threats means taking a preventive approach to identify and manage potential risks posed by third-party relationships. Instead of waiting for a risk event to occur, companies can use various tools and techniques to anticipate and mitigate risks before they escalate into major problems. By implementing a proactive risk management program, companies can gain a better understanding of the risks and potential impacts of third-party relationships and take the necessary steps to mitigate them.

Types of Third Party Risk

The risks associated with third parties can range from association with politicians, data breaches, financial fraud, operational disruptions, reputational damage, domestic sanctions, legal and regulatory violations, and other harmful events that can affect the company’s performance and competitiveness. While preparing the report, the Riskpro algorithm takes into consideration multiple risks.

Moreover, as regulators are focusing on enhanced due diligence on customers and third parties, it has become imperative for organizations to demonstrate a comprehensive and risk-based Know Your Customer (KYC) or Know Your Vendor (KYV) process to avoid any legal/ regulatory implications.

Select and manage the most reliable suppliers to protect your business against risk, prevent business disruption, and meet diversity, green, and compliance requirements. Stay on top of all the factors that impact a supplier’s ability to deliver – financial, environmental, and political

Third Party Risk: Portfolio Analysis Approach

Some common strategies for proactively uncovering external threats include conducting due diligence on third-party vendors, suppliers, and business partners, establishing clear policies and procedures for managing third-party relationships, monitoring third-party activities and performance, and implementing robust controls and monitoring mechanisms to detect and prevent potential risks.

Portfolio analysis is a service offered by the Riskpro Technology team that is aimed at providing a cost-effective solution for companies and banks with a large vendor/partner base. This service involves analyzing bulk data of vendors and suppliers all at once, which can help to identify the high-risk vendors or partners and provide a broader overview of the portfolio.

The portfolio analysis service involves a comprehensive vendor risk analysis based on different risk parameters associated with the vendors. This includes analyzing vendor financial stability, legal and regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, reputation, and other factors that may pose risks to the company or bank.

By analyzing multiple vendors at once, the Riskpro Technology team is able to provide individual reports for each vendor, highlighting any areas of concern or potential risks. In addition, the team provides a complete broader overview of the vendor or partner portfolio, which can help companies and banks to identify trends or patterns that may pose risks to their operations or reputation.

Overall, the portfolio analysis service is an effective tool for managing vendor and partner risks for companies and banks with a large vendor/partner base. By identifying high-risk vendors or partners and providing a complete overview of the portfolio, companies and banks can take proactive measures to mitigate risks and safeguard their operations and reputation.

Our Third Party Risk analysis tool helps in identifying information about specific targets (individuals/ entities), from the portfolio of the clients, resellers, channel partners or vendors to highlight risk associated with the target that can be potentially damaging to an organization.

By using the inputs of third party risk analysis tools, organizations can take proactive measures to mitigate risks associated with their external relationships, such as conducting further due diligence, implementing stronger controls, and monitoring the target’s activities more closely.
