ProcessUnity Third-Party Risk Management

Threat & Vulnerability Response


ProcessUnity Threat & Vulnerability Response is a turnkey solution used by security and third-party risk management teams to efficiently identify, assess, respond, and report on emerging threats and vulnerabilities that may be present in the organization’s extended third-party ecosystem.

Safeguard Your Third-Party Ecosystem from Emerging Threats 

When new threats and vulnerabilities emerge, your Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) team needs to act…fast. Any interruption or breach in your service supply chain could have a lasting negative impact on your business. It’s a tough task, as many TPRM teams are underequipped to handle the: 

  • Exponential growth in the number of vulnerability alerts:
    Which alerts are relevant to your organization? Who monitors them? 
  • Sheer volume of your third (and fourth) parties:
    Which vendors could be prone to each threat? 
  • Workload required to assess the extended vendor ecosystem against each threat:
    Do we have to assess every service provider? 
  • Post-incident reporting required by executive leadership:
    How can we quickly summarize our actions and remedies?

Threat & Vulnerability Response: Key Components

Continuous Threat Monitoring & Alerts 

The ProcessUnity Threat Research team continuously monitors CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog and NIST’s National Vulnerability Database for published vulnerabilities. In conjunction, our team conducts ongoing threat intelligence research into the dark web, social media, and indicators of compromise to  identify emerging threats relevant to your organization. If one or more of your third parties is susceptible to an emerging threat, an alert is issued with key details necessary for you to understand its nature. 

Assessment Prioritization 

When a threat is identified, ProcessUnity combines inherent risk assessments, Automated Risk Profiles, potential control deficiencies, and demographic and technographic data to deliver a narrowed list of third parties most likely to be susceptible to the threat. Instead of assessing your entire ecosystem, you focus on the vendors that matter most. 

Assessment Scoping & Scoring 

Potentially affected third and fourth parties receive targeted assessments via ProcessUnity’s powerful assessment engine and our flexible vendor portal. Assessment questions automatically incorporate threat metadata, such as the name of the affected application and NIST CVE ID, promoting a faster response. As your vendors complete their assessment, ProcessUnity automatically scores the results based on preferred responses that you determine. The platform automatically creates issues for remediation based on non-preferred responses. 

One-Click Executive Reporting 

Often, the anxiety and frustration of senior executives and the board during a critical crisis can be mollified with transparency. This is especially true during an active cyber threat. ProcessUnity Threat and Vulnerability Response provides summary reports to educate your leadership on assessment status. With the push of a button, you can generate a report demonstrating the effectiveness of your process, showcasing your leadership and your team’s efficiency during an active cyber threat crisis.
