Harlin ITS - Vendor Risk Management
Vendor Risk Management
Understand the risks introduced by third-party providers.
Harlin ITS helps organizations develop a more structured approach to vendor risk management.
Vendor Risk Management - Reduce Risk and Prepare for Evolving Compliance Requirements
Organizations are increasingly expected to demonstrate that appropriate security controls, policies, procedures, and documentation are in place.
These expectations may come from government regulations, industry standards, cyber insurance providers, customers, business partners, or contractual requirements. Keeping up with those obligations can be difficult—especially when requirements change or responsibility is divided among multiple employees, vendors, and service providers.
Harlin ITS helps organizations understand their technology-related compliance responsibilities, identify potential gaps, and establish practical security and risk management programs.
Our compliance and risk management services help businesses move beyond informal practices and create documented, repeatable processes that can be monitored and improved over time.
Vendor Risk Management
Most organizations rely on outside vendors for software, cloud hosting, payroll, accounting, communications, data processing, professional services, and technical support.
These vendors may have access to systems, accounts, confidential information, or regulated data. A security failure involving a third party can create significant operational, financial, and reputational consequences.
Harlin ITS helps organizations develop a more structured approach to vendor risk management.

Vendor inventory development- Identification of critical vendors
- Review of vendor system access

Vendor risk management helps leadership understand which providers create the greatest exposure and where additional controls, documentation, or oversight may be needed.
Contract terms and legal obligations should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel.
