The challenge

Your organization faces an increasingly complex and volatile cyber security landscape. Traditional security measures are no longer sufficient as your network boundaries dissolve into cloud infrastructure, a distributed workforce, and deep supply chain dependencies. Without comprehensive risk assessment and visibility, you are operating in a state of “managed ignorance,” unable to quantify threat exposure, prioritize remediation, or achieve operational observability, leaving you vulnerable to potentially catastrophic breaches.

How to evaluate risk assessment and visibility

1

Deployment model (cloud vs. hybrid)

Consider whether a cloud or hybrid deployment model best suits your organization's needs, balancing scalability with control over sensitive data.

2

Integration requirements

Ensure the platform integrates with your existing Identity Provider (IdP) and workflow management systems to avoid creating silos and shelf-ware.

3

Total cost of ownership (TCO)

Look beyond the license fee to account for professional services, internal staffing, and usage-based fees for data ingestion.

4

Compliance framework mapping

Verify the software offers pre-built templates for relevant compliance frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Risk assessment and visibility RFP guide
  • When your AI platform flags a vulnerability, what specific evidence do you provide to verify the finding?
  • What specific steps are included in the implementation timeline to ensure integration with our existing GRC platform?
  • How does your platform identify fourth-party risks, providing visibility into the vendors of our vendors?
  • Have you experienced any security breaches in your own infrastructure in the last three years?
