Technology companies are unusual in TPRM because they sit on both sides of it at once. They run SaaS-heavy stacks of their own — often hundreds of vendors, adopted by individual teams without procurement involvement — and they are themselves the third party in somebody else's programme, answering security reviews as a condition of closing deals.
The inbound side is a revenue problem as much as a risk one. Enterprise buyers send questionnaires — SIG, CAIQ or their own — and ask for a SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 certificate, a penetration test summary and a current sub-processor list. How fast and how consistently a company answers that is a sales cycle input.
The outbound side compounds. Because SaaS vendors are themselves built on other SaaS, a technology company's customers are exposed to its fourth parties, and the sub-processor list is the mechanism by which that exposure is disclosed. Under GDPR, adding or replacing a sub-processor generally requires advance notice to customers and a right to object — which makes the list a contractual commitment, not a page on the website.
Technology companies sit on both sides of TPRM — buyers of vendors, vendors to enterprise customers. Every customer security review is a sales blocker. Every sub-processor question is a trust signal you have to answer fast.
Three of The Agency's leads compress your enterprise security review and turn your own vendor stack into a story your customers can self-serve from.
SOC 2 evidence, reused across every customer questionnaire. ARIA structures your evidence against the 157 Universal Controls, generates SnapShot summaries for prospects, and feeds your trust portal with live data.
Fourth-party exposure your competitors don't track. REX maps the vendors of your vendors — when one of them gets breached, you already know where it lands in your stack.
Your inbox stops being the bottleneck. NOVA chases your vendors for evidence and chases customer prospects for their security teams' questions — all without your team copying and pasting.
Specific moments in the SaaS sales and supply-chain workflow where The Agency compresses what used to be the slow part.
ARIA pre-fills 70%+ of the questionnaire, NOVA chases the back-and-forth — what was a six-week slog turns into a one-day exchange.
Generated from current evidence, not last quarter's PDF. Prospects self-serve, your sales team stops being the proxy.
When one of your sub-processors has an incident, you already know which of your customers asked about that exact vendor in their questionnaire.
One evidence layer, every customer's questionnaire formats — no more re-answering identical questions in different templates.
We turned our enterprise security review from a six-week slog into a one-day exchange. The customers who used to slow our deals now self-serve from our trust pages.
Security reviews, sub-processors, and being assessed as often as you assess.
