Third-party risk management (TPRM) tools built a decade ago were never designed for today’s threat landscape. In 2025, enterprise teams are retiring spreadsheets, static scorecards, and outdated audit cycles — and turning instead to modern risk platforms that offer real-time visibility, automation, and compliance alignment.
If your organisation still relies on legacy tools like BitSight-only assessments, email-based questionnaires, or static vendor lists, here’s why now is the time to upgrade.
What Legacy TPRM Tools Get Wrong
❌ Static snapshots – Point-in-time data doesn’t reflect real-world risk
❌ Siloed systems – InfoSec, procurement, and legal all operate separately
❌ Low scalability – Manual onboarding and inconsistent processes slow everything down
❌ Compliance misalignment – Struggle to demonstrate NIS2, DORA, ISO 27036, or Cyber Essentials coverage
❌ Poor user experience – Long forms, slow updates, and weak engagement with vendors
In short, they don’t help you anticipate, act on, or communicate risk effectively.
What Modern TPRM Platforms Offer Instead
✅ Live supplier scans – See real-time vulnerabilities without vendor access
✅ Supply chain mapping – Go beyond Tier 1 to understand downstream exposure
✅ Automated workflows – Save time, reduce manual follow-up
✅ Framework-ready outputs – Reports aligned with ISO 27001, NIST, Cyber Essentials Plus, and DORA
✅ Board and insurer reporting – Risk scores, trends, and visuals tailored for non-technical stakeholders
Modern platforms provide visibility, evidence, and action — not just “yes/no” answers.
