Third Party Risk Management

Assurance platforms with scalable capacity for Vendor & Procurement Risk leaders

armus2 exists to close the gaps behind operational resilience, business continuity management, and third party risk management (TPRM) - a single connected compliance tool answering the question - can we take the hit and keep running? - where most organisations struggle with confidence.

Put Simply: The biggest issue is that TPRM has been built as a point-in-time compliance exercise, disconnected from both continuous reality and the rest of enterprise risk — so organisations end up "compliant" on paper while genuinely blind in practice.

WHAT VENDOR & PROCUREMENT LEADERS FACE TODAY

Third Party Management design & assessment decay

The single biggest issue practitioners keep pointing to right now is visibility that decays the moment the assessment is finished — not a lack of tools, but a design flaw in how most programs work. Assessments are point-in-time, but risk isn't and that is compounded by speed. It doesn't stop at the first tier and the root cause isn't tooling - its governance - and ensuring tooling isn't siloed.

Speed & Volume. Pressing challenges in the extended duration required to complete third-party assessments — lengthy processes leave organisations vulnerable. TPRM teams are asked to do more every year while vendor ecosystems keep expanding, without proportional growth in headcount or integrated tooling.

Visibility, not Tooling, is the Root Cause. Traditional assessments capture a vendor's security posture at a single point in time, giving little insight into risk and supplier dependencies shift. Adding more monitoring technology doesn't fix third-party risk, buyers are growing wary of "just another dashboard."

TPRM & ERM Don't Talk. Getting an enterprise wide view of risk leaves major gaps. Regulatory and compliance and cyber threats are now the twin pillars shaping TPRM strategies, but programs still lack the capacity to anticipate emerging risks before the next wave hits..

Underestimated Categories. Organisations still focus heavily on traditional supply chain risks — people shortages, safety compliance, sanctions, logistics — while cyber risk within the supply chain remains under prioritised, even though manufacturing has been ransomware's top target for four consecutive years

Cross Jurisdictional Inconsistency. Intragroup arrangements present real challenges, especially where regulators in certain jurisdictions expect internal group relationships to be held to the same standard as external third-party arrangements.

Armus2 Takes the Weight Off

Armus2 is a single adaptive platform that unifies Operational Resilience, Risk Management, Continuity, TPRM, Crisis and Incident Management — so the picture that used to live across multiple teams with several tools now lives in one place instead.

We understand the problem because we've built the response frameworks ourselves. Armus2 is designed by practitioners who've written the due dilligence, mapped the supplier SLA, and managed the operational recovery when suppliers and fourth party providers have failed to deliver. That's experience — it's built into how the platform works.

2. Stop treating Every Vendor the Same. Armus2 automatically categorises your most critical vendors using BIA dependencies and set risk criteria — so effort and scrutiny go where the actual exposure is, not evenly across a flat vendor list. No more chasing the same 200-question form for a stationery supplier and a core banking provider alike.

3. One Platform, One Risk Picture — TPRM, BC, Crisis, and Risk Together Because TPRM is cross-referenced with risk management, business continuity, and crisis management in the same system, Armus2 solves the integration gap that leaves most programs isolated from the rest of the business — the same gap KPMG's global survey found in the vast majority of organisations today.

4. Know Your RTOs Line Up With Reality — Before a Regulator Asks Armus2 cross-references vendor criticality directly against Recovery Time Objectives, so you always know whether a third-party failure would breach your recovery targets — not months later when a resilience test or an incident forces the question.

1. See Every Vendor Risk in Real Time. Armus2 reports in the minute, not on the assessment calendar. Instead of working off a snapshot that's already stale by the time it's reviewed, You get live visibility into vendor risk as they change — closing the single biggest gap practitioners flag today: point-in-time assessments that decay the moment they're signed off.

5. Be Ready to Walk Away, Not Scramble to. Armus2 houses stressed exit plans as a standing capability, not a document nobody's opened since it was written. When a critical vendor fails, gets sanctioned, or simply underperforms, you already have a workable exit path — and the automated SLA compliance tracking means you'll know it's needed before it becomes a crisis

We Speak Supply Chain, So You Don't Have To

Our experience, knowledge and understanding is all part of the Armus2 culture. From manufacturing, digital, finance, healthcare, government and commercial we have taken the time to understand global to local governance and regulation, industry standards and best practice to ensure Armus2 reflects your organisation, If it is DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) · NIS2 · CRA · Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) · LkSG · OCC/FDIC/Federal Reserve Interagency Guidance of Thord Party Relationships · NIST SP 800-61 · ISO 20400 · ISO 26000 we have it covered. Instead of treating each regulation as a separate project, Armus2 maps your controls, evidence, and third-party data once — and integrates that work into a single set that managed this risk cycle at the same time. Now, when a board asks "prove it," you already have the answer with confidence, in one place, with one answer.
