Gordon Third Party Risk continuously monitors the cybersecurity posture of an organization's vendors, suppliers, and technology partners, combining automated external attack surface scanning with structured risk assessments to produce a current, verified risk profile for each third-party relationship.
Rather than relying solely on periodic questionnaires, the platform monitors each vendor's internet-facing infrastructure in real time, tracking exposed services, misconfigured assets, certificate issues, known vulnerabilities, and dark web mentions and updates each vendor's risk score automatically as their external posture changes, without waiting for the vendor to respond to an assessment request. Questionnaire-based assessments are available for due diligence workflows and are pre-mapped to SIG, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CAIQ frameworks, with automated reminders and evidence collection to reduce manual follow-up.
Each vendor receives a risk tier based on both their live external exposure and their completed assessment responses, combined into a single score that reflects the current state rather than a point-in-time snapshot. Risk scores are updated continuously as new vulnerabilities are discovered or remediated, and alerts are triggered when a vendor's posture changes materially, rather than on a weekly refresh cycle.
Reporting is formatted for multiple stakeholders: security teams receive technical findings and remediation details; procurement, legal, and compliance teams receive plain-language risk summaries and due diligence documentation; and executives receive portfolio-level dashboards showing concentration risk, unreviewed vendor exposure, and trends over time. All findings map to the control requirements of SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIS2, and DORA for audit and regulatory reporting.
Gordon Third Party Risk deploys without agents or vendor-side installation. Vendor onboarding is initiated by entering a company name or domain, with no manual asset list required. Directory integration with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace enables automatic population of vendor relationships from existing procurement and IT records.
