THIRD PARTY
THREAT HUNTING™

Services · Managed third-party threat hunting

Practitioners on your critical vendors. Automation on the rest.

Third Party Threat Hunting™ (TPTH™) runs it as your managed service provider. Our practitioners work your systemically critical vendors (what examiners call critical activities) as part of a zero-trust and resilience program. Automation watches the rest. Month to month, no platform license.

Managed tiers

Foundation, Resilience or Program

Every tier has two counts. Attended vendors are your systemically critical vendors, worked by a named practitioner; they set the price. Monitored vendors are the wider list, covered by automated checks.

Talk to us

Extra attended vendors: $150–250 a month each. Setup fee: one month of the tier. Extending the program to AI vendors — NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 assessments — is available with any tier. AI risk & agent training.

Two ways in before a tier

Not ready to commit to a monthly service? Start with a one-time hunt, or put a senior lead in the seat.

Third-Party Threat Hunt

$9,500 up to 15 critical vendors
$14,000 up to 30 critical vendors

A one-time practitioner hunt across your systemically critical vendors, delivered as a written report. Every report ends with an offer of the matching tier, so the hunt becomes the baseline if you carry on.

Fractional TPRM lead

$5,500 / month

A named senior lead who owns your third-party risk program without a full-time hire: policy, tiering, risk decisions, and the conversation with examiners and internal audit. Pairs with any tier when you also need the work done.

The Evidence-First method

Four steps. The same practitioner from scope to hand-over.

Step 1

ScopeA 30-minute call, then a fixed-scope proposal. No paid discovery phase.

Step 2

AssessDocument review, interviews and evidence testing against the framework you're examined under.

Step 3

Close gapsRanked remediation with owners and dates, written for the board and the examiner.

Step 4

Prove itRe-test, evidence pack and a hand-over your team can keep running.

Both demos are live, public and need no sign-up. Every client, vendor name, rating and finding in them is an illustrative example, not a client's data.

The Lighthouse

The console we run your program from — vendors ranked worst-first, evidence weighted by how much we can prove, and findings closed with a signed record. Switch between three fictional clients, or see it as a client would.

Questions

Before you book

What makes a vendor systemically critical?
One whose loss, or whose slow or partial service, would hurt nearly as much as losing your own systems. We decide it with Third Party Threat Hunting's free eight-step vendor checklist →, starting with one question: if this vendor stopped, would your core work stop? We agree the attended list with you at setup and re-test it every cycle.
Do we have to buy a platform?
No. There is no platform license and no minimum term. We work inside the tools you already run, or bring our own if you haven't got one. The tool is not the program.
Can we move between tiers?
Yes. Tiers are month to month, and extra attended vendors can be added to any tier at $150–250 a month each.
Who at TPTH does the work?
A named practitioner, with associates for scale. You always know who.
What happens to the program if we stop?
You keep everything that isn't our intellectual property — the register, the assessments, the evidence, the remediation plan, in the formats you already use. The goal of the engagement is that you can run it without us; a hand-over you cannot operate would mean we did the job badly.
Is there anything free to start with?
Yes. Sort your vendors with the eight-step vendor checklist →, check your exam readiness with the exam and audit readiness scorecard →, or take the free BEACON™ class → on vendor AI risk or the free VAULTS™ training → on privileged access review.
Can you start mid-cycle, or hold a program while a lead seat is empty?
Yes to both. We regularly pick up cycles already in progress. If your program lead has left, a tier plus the fractional lead keeps assessments and monitoring running until the permanent hire arrives, with a documented hand-over.

Tell us your critical vendors and your regulator. We'll match a tier in one call.
