External Exposure & Supply Chain Risk

Rapid Third-Party Check

New suppliers, new subsidiaries or M&A often bring unknowns and new access points. This use case provides a quick, pragmatic check: what’s externally visible, which access points exist, what’s critical – and what are the first actions. Goal: within 60 days, fewer blind spots after onboarding.

If you’d like, we’ll show you a typical onboarding setup in a short demo, together with our technology partner.

Best for

  • M&A / carve-outs / new critical suppliers
  • High time pressure (“we need to be secure quickly”)
  • Uncertainty about access, exposure, ownership

Outcome

  • Rapid risk assessment with clear priorities
  • First remediations in weeks, not months
  • Handover-ready plan (who does what next)

What you get

  • Quick assessment: criticality, access, exposure, key risks
  • “Top actions” list (30/60 days) with ownership
  • Verification plan (so it doesn’t reopen)
  • Optional: proof for individual critical points (where appropriate)

Brief explanation

Your Challenge

Onboarding is often “operations first, security later”. This backfires: access stays open, ownership is unclear, exposure is overlooked.

Our Solution

We run a quick, clearly scoped check and derive concrete actions. Afterwards, we verify what was truly completed.
Typical timeframe: 2–4 weeks until quick check + first actions.

Flow

1

Define scope & success criteria

2

Capture criticality, access, exposure

3

Prioritise risks (top 10)

4

Start actions (30/60-day plan)

5

Verify & hand over to regular operations

Frequently asked questions

Is this a full due diligence programme?
No – it’s the quick, effective start so you’re not flying blind.


What’s the fastest lever?
Clarify and limit access + close critical exposures.


How do you prevent it from stalling?
With ownership, a 30/60-day plan and verifications.


Can this be repeated?
Yes – as a standard process for new critical suppliers/entities.
