# Transform Third-Party Risk Management with Continuous Exposure Validation

Regularly test vendor defenses to reveal true security posture and strengthen trust across your supply chain.

## From Vendor Questionnaires to Verified Security

Traditional third-party risk programs rely on SOC 2 reports, ISO certifications, and self-attested questionnaires. AttackIQ replaces static assessments with continuous exposure validation that proves your vendors are actually secure—not just compliant.

### The Old Way **Traditional Vendor Risk Assessments**

- Annual questionnaires and SOC 2 audits
- Point-in-time certifications
- Self-attestation and infrequent pen tests
- Vendor performance measured by compliance paperwork
- Limited visibility into remediation progress

### The AttackIQ Way **Continuous Third-Party Validation**

- Real adversary emulation, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
- Continuous testing to catch control drift
- On-demand, agentless assessments you can verify
- Security validated by real-world behavior and measurable results
- Track performance trends and regressions over time

## **Validate Vendor Defenses with Real-World Testing**

AttackIQ empowers you to test third-party security controls with real-world adversary behavior—safely, continuously, and without guesswork.

#### Simulate Real-World Attacks

Deliver adversary emulation packages to vendors aligned with MITRE ATT&CK and tailored to relevant threats.

#### Eliminate Blind Spots

Uncover hidden exposures in vendor environments that static assessments miss before attackers find them.

#### Track Progress Over Time

Monitor remediation, validate fixes, and detect regressions to hold vendors accountable with structured data.

## Automate and Scale Third-Party Risk Validation

Assess vendor security with real-world adversary testing—no agents, no guesswork, just actionable data across your entire supply chain.

**1. Distribute Security Tests**

Send lightweight, agentless emulation packages to vendors by email or API. No installation required.

**2. Enable Self-Assessments**

Vendors run MITRE ATT&CK-aligned tests on demand or on a schedule to validate their defenses against real-world threats.

**3. Capture and Centralize Results**

All test data is collected in Command Center, where you can track performance, monitor trends, and maintain audit trails across your vendor ecosystem.

**4. Drive Accountability with Data**

Use real validation results to identify gaps, prioritize risk, enforce security expectations, and guide remediation across your entire vendor ecosystem.

## **Why AttackIQ**

Modernize third-party risk programs with automation, real-world validation, and continuous oversight.

#### Eliminate Assessment Bottlenecks

Skip document-heavy audits with fast, scalable testing across your vendor ecosystem.

#### Gain Real-Time Risk Visibility

Identify exposures in cloud, on-prem, or hybrid environments before attackers do.

#### Enforce Zero Trust at Scale

Validate third-party defenses continuously with evidence aligned to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and DORA.

#### Maximize Team Efficiency

Automate workflows and centralize oversight to reduce manual effort.

#### Strengthen Vendor Accountability

Use test-backed data to prioritize risk, enforce contracts, and track remediation over time.

## Third-Party Risk Validation in Action

### **Silicon Valley Tech Company Secures Its Vendor Ecosystem**

**Challenge**: A fast-growing technology firm relied on complex vendor relationships but lacked visibility into actual security posture—leaving the supply chain exposed to threats.

**Solution:** Deployed AttackIQ for automated vendor self-assessments with centralized oversight across dozens of third parties.

#### Results:

- 60% reduction in assessment time
- Discovered critical endpoint and cloud defense gaps
- Strengthened software build integrity and access controls
- Used validation data to enforce stronger security obligations

## Never Settle for Uncertainty

### Validate Your Defenses

Take the guesswork out of threat exposure management. Validate your defenses with real-world attack scenarios and focus on what matters most—managing your risk.
