Frequently Asked Questions
What is third-party risk management (TPRM), and why does my organisation need it?
Third-party risk management is how an organisation identifies, assesses, monitors and reports the risks that come from its vendors, suppliers, service providers and outsourced partners. Every vendor that touches your data, systems or customers extends your attack surface, and regulators hold you, not the vendor, accountable when something fails. A structured TPRM programme gives you one view of who your vendors are, what they can access, how risky each one is, and what evidence you hold to prove due diligence.
Which Indian regulations make vendor risk management mandatory?
For Indian regulated entities, vendor oversight is a regulatory obligation. RBI’s outsourcing and IT outsourcing directions require due diligence, contractual safeguards, right to audit and ongoing monitoring of service providers. RBI’s July 2026 cybersecurity framework for Urban Co-operative Banks puts vendor and outsourcing risk in its Level I baseline. SEBI’s CSCRF expects regulated entities to evidence third-party controls, and IRDAI’s information and cyber security guidelines cover insurers’ outsourced vendors. Under the DPDP Act, a data fiduciary stays accountable for its data processors, with penalties of up to ₹250 crore for failing to maintain reasonable security safeguards. CERT-In’s six-hour incident-reporting window leaves no room to find out about a vendor breach late.
Why aren’t annual questionnaires and spreadsheets enough to manage vendor risk anymore?
An annual questionnaire captures a vendor’s security posture on one day of the year. In between, vendors change sub-contractors, miss patches, suffer breaches and renew contracts on old terms, and a spreadsheet will not tell you. Manual reviews also don’t scale. Most teams can only assess their top few dozen vendors, the rest go unchecked, and evidence ends up scattered across email threads when the auditor asks for it. Regulators now expect continuous oversight and traceable evidence, which static processes cannot provide.
What is ShieldRisk TPRM and how does it work?
ShieldRisk TPRM is an AI-powered third-party risk management platform from ShieldByte Infosec, a CERT-In empanelled audit organisation. It covers the full vendor lifecycle in one platform:
- a central vendor register
- automated risk questionnaires and evidence collection
- risk scoring and prioritisation
- AI-based contract review
- continuous monitoring and fourth-party mapping
- compliance mapping to RBI, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI, DPDPA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR
It is built for Indian BFSI and other regulated enterprises that must prove vendor due diligence to regulators and auditors.
How does ShieldRisk TPRM assess and score vendor risk?
ShieldRisk sends each vendor automated questionnaires, collects the supporting evidence, and runs deep background verification: company registry (MCA), PAN, GST and MSME records, plus court and sanctions checks. The Risk Scoring & Prioritisation engine combines these results with what the vendor handles and what it can access. The output is a cyber, financial and privacy risk score, so your team works from a prioritised list instead of treating every vendor the same.
Can ShieldRisk TPRM monitor vendors continuously, not just at onboarding?
Yes. Continuous monitoring tracks vendor breaches and financial-health signals in real time. Attack-surface monitoring flags outdated or end-of-life software, known vulnerabilities and brand-impersonation attempts linked to your vendors. The SBOM & Software Tracker matches the software your vendors supply against published vulnerabilities, and the AI Risk Intelligence Engine pulls these signals together to surface emerging risks early. A vendor’s score reflects today’s reality, not last year’s questionnaire.
How does ShieldRisk TPRM handle fourth-party and sub-vendor risk?
Your vendors’ vendors (cloud hosts, payment processors, sub-contracted developers) are often where a breach actually begins, and regulators increasingly ask about concentration risk. ShieldRisk maps fourth-party and sub-vendor dependencies. You can see which critical providers rely on the same underlying supplier, which sub-vendors support a critical service, and where a single failure could affect several services at once. Traditional questionnaire-based tools don’t give you that view.
How does the Contract AI Analyzer help with vendor contracts?
Vendor contracts are where regulatory obligations are actually enforced, and gaps are easy to miss in manual review. The Contract AI Analyzer uses natural-language processing to read vendor agreements and highlight missing or non-standard clauses, such as:
- right to audit
- data protection and breach notification
- sub-contracting
- business continuity
- exit terms
Legal and risk teams get a clear list of gaps to negotiate before signing or at renewal. SLA alerts and renewal reminders make sure no contract lapses unnoticed.
How does ShieldRisk TPRM help us prove compliance to RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and DPDPA auditors?
ShieldRisk automatically maps vendor controls and assessment responses to RBI, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI, DPDPA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR requirements. Every questionnaire, document, finding and remediation action is stored in a central Evidence Vault with a full audit trail. The Audit Planner and Findings modules track issues through to closure. When an inspection or internal audit arrives, you pull a traceable, regulator-ready evidence pack from the platform instead of assembling it from spreadsheets and email.
How quickly can we get started, and how is ShieldRisk TPRM priced?
Most organisations go live in about four weeks. With ShieldByte’s managed service, onboarding can be cut to around 14 days. Pricing is based on the number of vendors under management, so it scales with your programme. To see the value before committing, you can start with a pilot on your ten highest-risk vendors.
