Third-Party SupplierRisk Management
Secure your supply chain. Protect your business.
Why third-party risk managementmatters.
Organisations increasingly depend on third-party vendors, partners, and service providers to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and scale operations. But with this reliance comes heightened risk. Any weakness in a supplier’s security posture can become a direct threat to your business — resulting in data breaches, service outages, regulatory penalties, and reputational harm.
CyberQ Group helps you gain visibility and control over these risks by assessing and monitoring your extended supply chain. Our structured approach identifies vulnerabilities, assigns risk ratings to suppliers, and supports proactive remediation to keep your business secure and resilient.

How we workwith clients.
Parcel delivery and logistics
CyberQ’s first customer, and still a client nearly ten years on.
What the work covered: Panel penetration testing that grew into an ongoing managed service with weekly and monthly reporting
The challenge
A national parcel delivery network runs a rotating panel of penetration testers so no supplier gets complacent. As it scaled back in-house IT operations, it needed a security partner it could hand responsibility to.
The approach
CyberQ joined the penetration testing panel in 2016. The relationship grew into an ongoing managed service with weekly and monthly reporting.
The result
The service is described as good quality at the right price, with reports that are fit for purpose, and there are no plans to change provider.
