Third-Party Risk Management

From $2,500 CAD · scoped to you

Your vendors are part of your attack surface, and your buyers and auditors know it. A third-party risk management (TPRM) program is how you track which vendors touch your data, how risky they are, and what you do about it. We stand the program up and run the vendor reviews for you.

A SOC 2 Type II taken from no programme at all to zero exceptions across 76 controls: how it was built.

Built for teams that...

  • Companies whose SOC 2 or ISO 27001 scope now requires vendor risk management
  • Teams with a growing pile of SaaS vendors and no process to vet them
  • Founders who keep getting asked how they manage subprocessor risk

What we do

  • A vendor inventory and tiering model based on data access and risk
  • A repeatable vendor review process, from intake to approval
  • Hands-on security reviews of your key vendors and subprocessors
  • Risk-based criteria so low-risk vendors are not treated like critical ones
  • Documentation and records that satisfy auditors and enterprise buyers

What you walk away with

You get a working TPRM program, not just a policy PDF, that shows buyers and auditors your supply-chain risk is managed, and a repeatable process your team can run as you add vendors.

Frequently asked questions

What is TPRM?

Third-party risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and monitoring the security risk your vendors and subprocessors introduce to your business.

Do we need this for SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

Both frameworks expect you to manage vendor risk. A working TPRM program with records is how you demonstrate that control to an auditor.

Do you review our vendors or just build the process?

Both. We stand up the program and can run the actual vendor security reviews, so you get a process and the work done against it.

How do you decide how deeply to review a vendor?

We tier vendors by the data they touch and the risk they carry, so critical vendors get deep reviews and low-risk ones get a lighter, proportionate check.

The workspace is included, not quoted

The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

traztech Workspace Other GRC platforms
Licence cost $0. Free forever, no card, no paid tier $7,500 to $50,000 a year, on an annual contract
Control library, evidence register, policy templates, risk register, vendor questionnaires, readiness scoring Included Included
What it costs inside an engagement with us $0. You need a workspace either way Unchanged. The subscription sits on top of the fee
What it does to your audit quote $11,000 off a five-figure quote on one engagement, for a documented readiness position Nothing. The audit firm prices your readiness, not your tooling

Pricing in the right column is what compliance automation platforms are publicly reported to charge; none of them publish a number, so treat it as a range rather than a quote. The $11,000 came off the audit firm's own number once the readiness position was documented (the engagement). Where a paid platform is the better buy, and the fuller comparison, is on the Workspace page.

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation across 76 controls with zero exceptions, on a team of 15.

The platform held 99.9% uptime throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
