Third Party Risk is Hidden.
We Make it Visible.
As enterprises expand their digital ecosystem, personal data increasingly flows through
vendors, processors, and partners.
Under India's DPDP Act, responsibility for that data does not end with hand-off.
The industry reality
Third-party risk rarely stems from a single failure.
It emerges from limited visibility and fragmented oversight.
Fragmented Vendor Records
Vendor information is spread across spreadsheets, emails, procurement tools, and contracts, without a consolidated view.
Contractual Gaps
Agreements lack clear terms for breach responsibility, remediation, and non-compliance.
Static Risk Assessments
Point-in-time reviews fail to keep up as vendor controls change.
Unclear Accountability
When incidents occur, ownership and oversight
are difficult to prove.
What needs to exist
To govern third-party risk effectively, organisations need.
A complete inventory of third-party data processors
Clear visibility into what data vendors access and for what purpose
Contracts that define accountability, not assumptions
Ongoing monitoring instead of periodic reviews
Evidence that oversight extends beyond onboarding
Without this foundation, third-party governance remains reactive.
How third-party risk is governed
Effective third-party risk management is not a one-time check. It is an ongoing
governance function. Risk must be understood at onboarding, monitored over time,
and reassessed as vendor relationships evolve.
A Unified View of Vendor Risk
Governance begins with visibility.
A consolidated view of all third-party processors
Clear mapping of vendor access to personal data
Ownership and accountability across the vendor ecosystem
Contractual Accountability at Onboarding
Risk is shaped by what is agreed upon up front.
Structured review of vendor contracts at onboarding
Identification of missing clauses and liability gaps
Clear definition of responsibility for non-compliance
Continuous Oversight
Vendor risk changes as vendors change.
Ongoing visibility into vendor risk posture
Alerts when controls, behaviour, or exposure shifts
Reduced dependence on periodic, manual reviews
Risk-Based Decision Making
Not all vendors carry the same level of risk.
Objective assessment across defined parameters
Risk sensitivity to prioritise attention and action
Informed decisions on onboarding, renewal,
and remediation
Who is this for
CXOs & Business Leaders
Confidence that third-party exposure is visible, governed, and under control.
DPOs & Compliance Teams
Defensible oversight of data processors in line with DPDP requirements.
