What is third party assurance?

Build trust with your third-parties to enable and fuel long term relationships that lead to growth and partnership

As security-aware organizations, we invest a considerable amount of time, resources and money in protecting ourselves from external, malicious threat actors. There are many ways in which a threat can undermine these investments, and it is a method that is becoming increasingly common and effective: exploiting third parties.

As an organization that is undoubtedly part of a wider supply-chain and network of partners and subsidiaries, you are only as strong as the weakest link in that chain—especially if network access and sharing of information is commonplace.

Third Party Assurance is SubRosa’s services-based offering and is compiled of the assessment, management and safeguarding of your organization’s third parties. Typically, such organization’s include suppliers, partners, acquisitions and clients.
