CATRP — Certified AI Third-Party Risk Professional
The dual-track credential in agentic architecture and enterprise AI risk management. Earned by completing both flagship programs, plus a short ethics attestation — there is no proctored technical examination.
Enroll before Jan 1, 2027 and complete CATRP on two courses. From Jan 1, 2027 the credential adds a third track, the BEACON™ Vendor AI Risk Class (assess). Anyone who enrolls before then completes on today’s requirements: Security Agent Mesh, AI for TPRM, the ethics attestation and the application. No BEACON class needed.
How it is earned
Four requirements
01
Security Agent Mesh Masterclass
The build track. Building a four-agent autonomous defense architecture to neutralise zero-day vulnerabilities in real time.
Dates →02
AI for TPRM Professionals
The govern track. Bridging emerging AI technologies and third-party risk management practice.
Dates →03
Ethics attestation
Thirty questions on professional ethics, privacy, AI conduct and vendor obligations. Eighty percent to pass, retakeable, and taken online.
Take the attestation →04
Verified application
An application reviewed and verified before the credential is issued.
Who it is for
People who both build and govern.
CATRP is deliberately dual-track. The people who can architect an agentic system and the people who can govern one are usually two different groups, and the gap between them is where AI risk actually sits. The credential asks you to do both.
TPRM analysts and leads
Extending an existing vendor-risk program to AI vendors and AI-enabled third parties.
Security and GRC professionals
Asked to assess AI tools without an AI-specific control set.
Consultants and auditors
Who need a defensible, repeatable method they can stand behind.
Price
$99, reduced from $199.
The credential fee covers the ethics attestation, application review and certificate issue. The two training tracks are booked separately — see the schedule.
Offer ends Dec 31, 2026.
Verification
Every certificate carries an ID.
Certificates are issued with a credential ID in the form TPTH-CATRP-YYYY-NNNN, the award date, and the contact hours and CPEs awarded printed on the face. Employers and clients can confirm a holder against the register in a few seconds, without an account and without telling us who is asking.

The badge
Something to show for it
Holders can display the CATRP badge on a profile, a signature or a CV. It is yours to use for as long as the credential is current.
Using it
Pair it with your credential ID so anyone can check it. A badge on its own proves nothing; a badge next to an ID that verifies at thirdpartythreathunting.com/verify → does.
Please do not alter the colors, redraw it, or use it to imply a credential that has not been issued.
