FAQ's

What is Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)?

Third-Party Risk Management is the process of identifying, assessing and managing risk across suppliers, partners and outsourced services.

​

Why is Third-Party Risk Management important?

It helps organisations understand which suppliers matter most, where risk exposure exists and whether oversight can be evidenced clearly.

​

What does a TPRM assessment include?

A TPRM assessment reviews supplier governance, risk exposure, assurance processes, capability gaps and the operating model needed to manage third-party risk effectively.

​

How does i-confidential support TPRM improvement?

i-confidential assesses current capability, defines a risk-based operating model and provides a prioritised roadmap for sustainable improvement.

​

How does TPRM support regulatory readiness?

It provides clearer governance, improved oversight and evidence-based assurance across suppliers and critical third-party relationships.

Building Defensible Third-Party Risk Capability

Third-party relationships are critical to modern organisations. As reliance on suppliers grows, so does the need for effective oversight.

Many organisations lack the visibility and capability to manage this risk with confidence.

​

At i-confidential, we help organisations identify, assess, and remediate supplier risk through a structured, risk-based approach—focused on strengthening TPRM capability, not just assessing suppliers. Our approach helps organisations build a sustainable Third-Party Risk Management capability that supports stronger governance and more informed decision-making.

Our Approach

We assess your TPRM capability to identify gaps, prioritise investment, and embed a scalable, risk-based approach. Our independent assessment spans 23 capability areas aligned to regulatory expectations and good practice, providing a clear view of your supplier landscape, governance, and risk exposure.

​

We design a target operating model, define a standardised assurance approach, and develop a prioritised roadmap.

Finally, we support implementation through pilot workflows, governance alignment, and enterprise-wide deployment with continuous monitoring. Throughout the engagement, our focus remains on delivering practical recommendations that can be embedded into day-to-day operations, rather than producing assessment reports alone.

Helping organisations establish a proportionate, repeatable approach to managing supplier risk as their business evolves.

​

Third Party Risk is one of the hardest risks to manage.

Third-party risk is one of the hardest risks to manage. Organisations often rely on hundreds—or thousands—of suppliers across technology, cloud, data, and critical services.

​

Many still struggle to answer key questions:

​

  • Which suppliers matter most?

  • Where is our greatest exposure?

  • Are controls working effectively?

  • Could this be evidenced to regulators today?

​

Without clear visibility and ongoing assurance, third-party risk becomes a significant operational and regulatory challenge. A consistent, risk-based approach enables organisations to focus effort where supplier risk has the greatest potential business impact.
