Governance, Risk & Compliance

AI-DRIVEN VENDOR INTELLIGENCE

Your supply chain is your biggest blind spot. Faltrox Security uses dark web reconnaissance and automated scanning to assess Third-Party Risk (TPRM) in real-time. We don't just send questionnaires; we continuously monitor your vendors for data leaks, credit drops, and security breaches.

Overview

Trust, Verified

Questionnaires lie. Data doesn't. Stop relying on a spreadsheet your vendor filled out six months ago.

Our AI Reconnaissance Agents map your entire digital supply chain, identifying 'Fourth Party' risks (e.g., if all your vendors rely on the same crashing cloud provider).

We score vendors based on external evidence (leaked credentials, open ports, and bad SSL configs), giving you the leverage to demand better security before signing the contract.

Landscape

Assessment Vectors

Comprehensive assessment tools to identify and mitigate third-party risk.

Inherent Risk

Classifying vendors into Tier 1, 2, or 3 based on their access to your data or critical systems.

Continuous Monitoring

Real-time alerts for credit rating drops, legal filings, or data breaches that signal vendor distress.

Onsite Audits

Physically or virtually visiting the vendor to verify their controls match their questionnaire answers.

SIG / CAIQ

Managing standardized questionnaires (SIG Lite, CSA CAIQ) to benchmark vendors against industry norms.

Dark Web Checks

Monitoring criminal forums for leaked vendor credentials or stolen source code impacting your data.

4th Party Mapping

Identifying concentration risk (e.g., if 80% of your vendors rely on the same AWS region).

Process

Vendor Lifecycle

From Onboarding to Offboarding. We manage the entire relationship.

01
ONBOARDING
Initial Due Diligence (financial & security check) before the contract is signed.
02
CONTRACTING
Embedding 'Right to Audit' and 'Breach Notification' clauses in the MSA.
03
ASSESSMENT
Deep-dive security review proportional to the risk (e.g., Penetration Test review).
04
MONITORING
Ongoing, automated scoring of the vendor's attack surface during the contract term.
05
RENEWAL
Re-assessing risk before renewing the contract to ensure standards are still met.
06
OFFBOARDING
Verifying data destruction and revoking access tokens when the relationship ends.

FAQ

Common questions

01How do you rate vendors?

We use a combination of Dark Web intelligence (scanning for leaked creds), Security Rating Services (like SecurityScorecard), and manual questionnaire review.

02What questionnaires do you support?

We support SIG (Lite/Core), CAIQ, HECVAT, and custom questionnaires tailored to your specific industry requirements.

03Do you handle the back-and-forth?

Yes. Our team acts as the liaison, chasing vendors for evidence, clarifying their answers, and validating their claims so you don't have to.

04What about 'Fourth Party' risk?

We identify your vendor's vendors (e.g., if your CRM uses AWS) to ensure you understand the full downstream impact of a cloud outage.

05How fast is an assessment?

For a Tier 3 vendor, it can be automated instantly. For a critical Tier 1 vendor, a deep-dive assessment takes 1-2 weeks depending on vendor responsiveness.

06Can you help offboard vendors?

Yes. We verify that they have deleted your data and revoked all access keys, providing you with a certificate of destruction.
