Third-Party & Supply Chain Risk Management
Continuous visibility and risk-rated governance across your entire vendor and supplier ecosystem — including fourth-party exposure.
The Case for Supply Chain Risk Management
The most damaging breaches of the last decade did not begin inside the target organisation's perimeter.

Continuous SCRM vs. Annual Questionnaire
The prevailing approach to third-party risk — an annual security questionnaire dispatched to hundreds of vendors — creates a false assurance problem. A vendor's self-reported compliance posture at the time of questionnaire completion tells you nothing about their security posture six months later, or the security posture of the cloud providers they depend on (fourth parties). SolarWinds, Kaseya, and MOVEit demonstrated that this model is structurally insufficient for detecting the real attack vectors adversaries exploit.
Vyomerc's supply chain risk programme replaces periodic questionnaires with continuous outside-in monitoring, SBOM ingestion, dark web vendor surveillance, and tiered risk-scoring across your full supplier registry. Critical suppliers receive proportionate assurance activity — including on-site assessments, penetration test evidence review, and contractual security clause enforcement — aligned to DORA ICT third-party risk requirements and ISO 27036.
Vyomerc SCRM
Annual Vendor Questionnaires
Monitoring frequency
Continuous outside-in monitoring with real-time risk score updates
Annual point-in-time questionnaire; blind between cycles
Fourth-party visibility
Mapped dependency chains identify sub-processors and cloud dependencies
No visibility beyond direct tier-one suppliers
Incident detection
Dark web monitoring, breach feed integration, and SBOM vulnerability alerting
Notification depends entirely on vendor self-disclosure
Regulatory alignment
DORA ICT third-party register, ISO 27036, and NIS2 Article 21 supply chain requirements fully mapped
Questionnaire responses do not map to specific regulatory obligations
Operational Workflow
How the Engagement Executes.
[PHASE_01]
Supplier Discovery & Tiering
Full inventory of direct and indirect suppliers, classified by criticality, data access level, and regulatory materiality — producing a tiered risk register.
[PHASE_02]
Continuous Outside-In Monitoring
Automated scoring using attack surface data, breach feeds, dark web alerts, and SBOM vulnerability intelligence across all registered suppliers.
[PHASE_03]
Assurance & Contractual Enforcement
Proportionate assurance activities for critical suppliers: security evidence review, on-site assessments, and security clause validation in contracts.
[PHASE_04]
Reporting & Regulatory Alignment
Board-level supply chain risk dashboards, DORA ICT third-party register maintenance, and regulatory breach notification SLA management.

Technical Specification & Deliverables.
Supplier Risk Scoring
Automated outside-in attack surface scanning across your full supplier registry with tiered risk scoring updated in real time from threat feeds and breach intelligence.
SBOM & OSS Vulnerability
Software Bill of Materials ingestion and open-source dependency scanning identifies exploitable vulnerabilities in third-party software components before they are weaponised.
Fourth-Party Mapping
Dependency chain mapping reveals the sub-processors, cloud providers, and critical infrastructure your suppliers rely on — exposing concentration risk and regulatory notification obligations.
SCRM Engagement
Secure your supply chain beyond the questionnaire.
We conduct a complimentary preliminary assessment of your top 10 critical suppliers to demonstrate exposure before scoping a full programme.
