A supplier breach isn’t just their problem.
How prepared are you?
What would the impact be on your business if a key supplier was breached tomorrow? Would it impact your systems, your customers, or your compliance status? Today’s organisations rely on dozens - sometimes hundreds - of third parties. Each one introduces potential cyber, operational, and reputational risk. But for most businesses, managing third-party risk is ad hoc, inconsistent, and resource-intensive. Talanos Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) is a managed service that helps IT and business teams to identify, assess, and continuously monitor risk across their supplier base - without needing a dedicated in-house team.

Why partner with Talanos?
Managed by experts, not templates

Scales with your business

Aligned with frameworks
We help you meet requirements like the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), DORA, and ISO standards - turning third-party risk into a compliance enabler.
Built for real-world complexity
We understand that third-party risk lives across departments. Our model embeds TPRM into procurement, legal, cybersecurity, and business operations - not just IT.
Unique in the market
Very few MSSPs offer third-party risk as a managed service. With our Risk Ledger partnership and integration into our wider MDR offering, we’re leading the way in holistic risk management.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this only for organisations with hundreds of suppliers?
Is this only for organisations with hundreds of suppliers?
Not at all. Many of our customers have between 10–50 suppliers, but the complexity and risk are still significant. Even a handful of third parties can expose you to compliance gaps, data breaches, or operational disruption. If you’re relying on ad hoc reviews or spreadsheets, it’s time for a better approach.
Can I use this service without buying the Risk Ledger platform?
Can I use this service without buying the Risk Ledger platform?
Yes. While we typically deliver the service via Risk Ledger (and can provide licences if needed), you’re welcome to use your own platform. Our managed service wraps around whichever tooling you already have - or we can help you get started from scratch.
What kinds of risks do you assess?
What kinds of risks do you assess?
We go well beyond cybersecurity. Our assessments cover operational risk, compliance and regulatory exposure, HR practices (like background checks), financial viability, and supplier governance. You get a 360° view of what each third party could expose you to - and what to do about it.
Who in my organisation needs to be involved?
Who in my organisation needs to be involved?
We handle the assessment, comms, and reporting - but risk ownership usually sits with the person managing the supplier relationship. That could be someone in IT, procurement, legal, or elsewhere. We make it easy for them to understand the risk and decide what to do next.
How is this different from what Experian or other credit-check providers offer?
How is this different from what Experian or other credit-check providers offer?
Experian provides financial risk scores - which are useful, but just one part of the picture. We assess real-world security controls, compliance policies, access privileges, and more. This is a deeper, broader service focused on operational resilience, not just creditworthiness.
What happens if you find a serious risk?
What happens if you find a serious risk?
We’ll surface the issue clearly, explain what it means for your business, and help you choose a response - from asking the supplier to remediate, to enforcing compensating controls, to replacing them altogether. We’re here to make sure you’re not left guessing.
Can this integrate with our existing SOC or MDR service?
Can this integrate with our existing SOC or MDR service?
Yes - if you’re a Talanos MDR customer, we can integrate TPRM alerts directly into your 24/7 monitoring. That means supplier-related incidents trigger triage, escalation, and ticketing workflows automatically. It’s another way we help you close the loop faster.
