Protect Your Firm from Third-Party Weak Links
Your cybersecurity is only as strong as the vendors you rely on. From fund administrators and custodians to cloud providers, third-party systems create hidden risks that can expose your firm to costly breaches and regulatory scrutiny. Drawbridge Vendor Risk Assessments deliver independent, hands-on evaluations of your critical providers – so you can spot weaknesses before they impact your firm and prove your diligence to investors and regulators.
Supply Chain Risk Is Fund Risk
