Comprehensive third party risk management consulting services to help organizations manage risk, achieve business objectives, and meet compliance requirements.
Prior to founding Third Party Risk Advisors, Chris Johnson led third party risk management and technology initiatives at some of the world's most recognized organizations in financial services, pharmaceuticals, professional services, and hospitality.
We design and build third party risk management programs from the ground up — or assess and mature existing ones. This includes establishing governance frameworks, defining risk appetite, developing policies and procedures, building vendor inventory and tiering methodologies, and creating scalable due diligence workflows that align with regulatory expectations and business objectives.
We provide experienced TPRM expertise to supplement your team during periods of increased demand, program buildout, or key personnel transitions. Bringing deep domain knowledge across financial services, healthcare, and other regulated industries, we integrate seamlessly into your organization — delivering immediate value without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Regulatory examinations require careful preparation, clear documentation, and coordinated responses. We guide organizations through the exam process — preparing staff, organizing evidence, and responding to examiner requests — ensuring your TPRM program is presented in the strongest possible light. Where gaps are identified, we work with your team to remediate them before and during the examination cycle.
Internal and external audits of third party risk programs demand organized evidence, well-documented controls, and clear narratives. We help organizations prepare by conducting pre-audit readiness assessments, remediating identified gaps, assembling supporting documentation, and coaching teams on how to communicate program maturity and control effectiveness.
Vendor contracts are a primary mechanism for managing third party risk. We review and advise on contractual provisions related to information security, business continuity, audit rights, regulatory compliance, and termination — ensuring your agreements provide adequate protection and align with your risk management framework and applicable regulatory guidance.
Effective supplier risk management requires more than periodic reviews. We design and execute supplier assessment programs that combine point-in-time due diligence — covering information security, operational resilience, financial health, and compliance — with continuous monitoring capabilities that provide ongoing visibility into changes in supplier risk posture between formal assessment cycles.
Ready to strengthen your third party risk program? Whether you're building one from the ground up or looking to take your existing program to the next level, we'd love to help.
