Third-party risk management (TPRM) platforms have exploded in recent years — promising to streamline onboarding, automate compliance, and scale supplier oversight.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Most of these platforms stop delivering value once you pass 20–30 suppliers.
Why?
Because they rely on something that doesn’t scale: form completion.
The Bottleneck No One Talks About
TPRM tools like RiskLedger, Vanta, and Prevalent often begin with promise — but falter at scale because they require:
📄 Long questionnaires
📨 Manual supplier follow-up
⏳ Weeks of waiting for engagement
And what happens when 80% of your suppliers don’t reply?
You’re left with a dashboard full of red flags — but no real visibility.
❌ That’s not security.
❌ That’s the illusion of oversight.
Why This Fails in the Real World
🚧 SME suppliers are overwhelmed — They don’t have the time or staff to fill out yet another security form.
📪 Contact info is stale — Your POC may have left, or never existed.
🎯 Compliance ≠ security — A “Yes” to “Do you use MFA?” tells you nothing about actual posture.
And even when forms are returned:
📉 There’s no verification
📦 There’s no vulnerability scanning
🧭 There’s no prioritisation by business impact
It’s security theatre — not risk management.
Cyber Tzar Delivers Real Coverage, Not Just Checkboxes
Instead of relying on supplier response rates, Cyber Tzar scans what matters — directly and immediately.
✅ We scan publicly-facing infrastructure for all your suppliers — regardless of size or responsiveness
✅ We benchmark them against sector peers and regulatory standards
✅ We prioritise risk based on live threat intelligence and potential business impact
✅ We deliver results you can act on — not just monitor
Whether you have 10 suppliers or 1,000, you get real-time, verifiable, and prioritised risk visibility.
The Business Risk of Poor Supplier Engagement
When 60–90% of your vendors never complete a form:
❌ You can’t confidently report to regulators
❌ You can’t demonstrate due diligence to insurers
❌ You can’t give your board a clear picture of exposure
In a world of shared services, federated delivery, and interconnected supply chains, relying on optional questionnaires isn’t just a gap — it’s a risk vector.
What Grows With You — and What Doesn’t
Legacy TPRM Tools (e.g. RiskLedger, Vanta)
-
Relies on self-reporting
-
Suffers drop-off at scale
-
Offers poor visibility for lower-tier suppliers
-
Delivers little to no prioritisation
Cyber Tzar
-
Requires no vendor login
-
Delivers scan results from day one
-
Maps Tier 1, 2, and even Tier 3 exposure
-
Turns raw data into board-ready metrics
Closing the Gap
You don’t need more forms.
You need fewer unknowns.
And you don’t need a “TPRM platform” — you need a live map of real cyber risk.
That’s what Cyber Tzar delivers.
