Third-Party Risk Management
Every vendor with access to your systems is part of your attack surface. Most teams manage that exposure with spreadsheets and annual questionnaires. Alvor brings structured assessment, continuous monitoring, and a complete audit trail to every vendor relationship - before something goes wrong.
Assessment workflow
Every vendor relationship follows the same structured path from onboarding request through to a formal, documented decision. No informal approvals. No gaps in the record.
A new vendor request or renewal is submitted with business context, data access scope, and the estimated go-live date. Alvor creates the vendor record and starts the SLA clock immediately - no vendor sits in a queue without an owner.
Portfolio visibility
A live portfolio dashboard that tells you exactly where your vendor risk is concentrated - without asking you to build it yourself in a pivot table.

Most vendor risk programs are a spreadsheet of questionnaires that nobody reads after they're collected. Here is how to build a program that genuinely reduces third-party risk.
