How to Automate Third Party Risk Management

Automation is the key to scalable TPRM β€” manual processes break down beyond 50 suppliers.

TPRM automation with 360TPRM replaces manual questionnaires, Excel lists and periodic audits with continuous, data-driven supplier monitoring.

What can be automated?

These TPRM processes can be fully automated: cyber risk scoring (daily, for all suppliers, via 360TPRM), attack surface monitoring (continuous, with no supplier involvement), dark web monitoring (continuous, all sources), CVE monitoring (daily, all known vulnerabilities), certificate status monitoring (daily checks), alert generation (immediately on risk change), compliance documentation (automatic, audit-ready). These processes can't be automated (but can be supported): classification decisions, contract negotiations, exit decisions, management communication.

10x more suppliers β€” same effort

360TPRM monitors 500 suppliers with the same effort as 50. Scaling without adding headcount is the decisive advantage of automation.

An automation roadmap for TPRM

Recommended automation sequence: (1) Continuous monitoring first (360TPRM) β€” biggest impact, fastest to implement. (2) Compliance documentation β€” generated automatically from monitoring data. (3) Reporting automation β€” management dashboards, regulatory reports. (4) Onboarding workflow β€” automatically add new suppliers to monitoring. (5) Alert routing β€” automatic escalation based on thresholds.

Automation doesn't replace judgement

360TPRM automates data collection and processing. Risk assessments, classification decisions and exit decisions still require human judgement β€” supported by objective data.
