Third Party Risk Management as a Service
A supplier’s certification is a useful starting point. Check what it covers, how they handle your data and which services depend on them. Focus your checks on the risks that matter.
A managed programme turns assessments, monitoring and follow-up actions into useful oversight. Give the Board clear evidence without leaving your team to chase every supplier.

A complete managed programme
For financial firms, a supplier failure can affect customers’ money, personal data and access to essential services. We help you understand those links. The same approach supports other regulated organisations.
01A supplier may hold customer records or connect to your systems. If its security fails, your customers can be affected too. We review access, safeguards and evidence, then help you close the gaps. Under UK GDPR, firms using a processor must check for sufficient guarantees and put the required written terms in place. A processor is a company handling personal data on your behalf.
02A technology outage can stop payments, delay claims or block account access. We identify the suppliers behind key services and check recovery plans, backups and alternatives. The aim is to understand how long disruption could last and whether the response protects customers. A promise in a contract should be backed by evidence from realistic tests.
03The duties depend on your firm, location and service. UK data protection rules, financial-sector rules and EU DORA may all be relevant in different ways. We help connect the applicable requirements to supplier checks, contracts, owners and records. TPRM is a way to manage supplier risk, not one law that applies identically to every business.
04A supplier can be affected by conflict, local disruption, sanctions or problems at another provider it uses. We examine these links and the services they support. This helps you spot shared points of failure and plan alternatives. The question is practical: if this supplier cannot deliver, what happens to your customers and how will you respond?

What we manage
A managed service brings the monitoring, action and reporting together. You get a clearer view of progress and ownership.
Boards need to understand which suppliers could disrupt important services, expose customer data or create financial loss. A long list of scores does not show which decisions need attention. We bring assessment findings, open actions and important changes into clear reporting. Leaders can see the main risks, who owns them and where action or investment is needed. This supports decisions based on evidence, with progress tracked over time.
Monitoring means watching for changes that could affect the supplier relationship. Signals might include a security incident, service outage, financial difficulty or a change in how customer information is handled. Choose information that is relevant to the service and decide who will review it. Monitoring is useful when it triggers a check or action; a stream of alerts without ownership can leave the same risks unresolved.
Finding a supplier weakness is only the start. Remediation means putting that weakness right, or agreeing how the remaining risk will be managed. We help turn findings into clear actions with owners and deadlines. Follow-up checks track progress and ask for evidence that agreed fixes are complete. Unresolved issues can then be raised with the right decision-makers, rather than disappearing into an assessment report.
A queue of unfinished supplier reviews can hide risks and leave teams unsure which checks matter most. Not every supplier needs the same level of attention. We help sort the backlog by the importance of each service, the information involved and the likely business impact. Agree a manageable review plan, complete the priority assessments and track the outstanding work. The scope and timescale reflect the complexity of your suppliers.
Different rules and standards can ask for similar supplier checks. Framework mapping means linking those requirements to the controls and evidence your organisation already uses. We help identify which requirements apply and where checks can be joined up. Teams can see what evidence supports each requirement and where gaps remain. This reduces repeated work while keeping responsibilities clear. The aim is useful evidence of how supplier risks are managed, not more paperwork.
Supplier risk involves several teams, from buying services to managing contracts, security and day-to-day delivery. Gaps appear when each team holds only part of the picture. We help bring supplier records, assessments, actions and reporting into one coordinated programme. Clear owners and review points keep work moving through the supplier relationship. Your team can see what has been checked, what has changed and which decisions still need to be made.

Across the supplier lifecycle
Start with a clear supplier list. Keep the right evidence. Review the risks as relationships change.
Start by understanding which suppliers you use and what could happen if they failed. Contract value alone does not tell you how important a supplier is. We work with service owners and purchasing teams to map suppliers, their access to information and the services they support. Those linked to customer data or important operations receive closer attention. This gives you a clear starting point for proportionate checks.
A useful assessment asks questions that match the supplier’s role and checks the evidence behind the answers. It should help you make a decision, not simply produce a score. We help review the risks and agree what happens next. That may mean approving the supplier, asking for improvements or raising a concern with a decision-maker. Each action has an owner, a deadline and a clear way to confirm it is complete.
Supplier risk changes after a contract is signed. New services, system changes, incidents or changes of ownership may affect the checks you need. We help set review points that reflect each supplier’s importance and watch for changes that need attention sooner. Reviews revisit evidence, outstanding actions and business impact. This keeps your decisions current and helps teams respond when a supplier’s risk changes.
Start with the question or supplier concern that needs an answer.

If you decide why and how personal data is used, you are the controller. A supplier using it on your instructions is a processor. Under UK GDPR, the UK’s data protection rules, you must:
TPRM is a way to manage risk, not one law for every supplier. Duties depend on the data, relationship and sector. Logica helps you turn these checks into practical work.

DORA is not a blanket UK rule. EU operations or supplying EU financial firms may bring duties or contract requirements. Logica helps you assess the gaps and plan the work.

Practical answers from Logica Security’s TPRM guidance.
Start with business-critical suppliers: those whose failure would have the greatest effect on your operations or data. Then assess medium-impact and lower-risk suppliers, using checks that match their level of risk.
No. Supplier services, access and risks can change. A programme needs ongoing monitoring, regular evidence updates and reviews triggered by important changes or incidents.
Work with the supplier to agree actions, owners and timescales. Where a risk cannot be fixed at once, record it, plan how to respond and use clear approval routes for the risk that remains.
Clear reporting on critical suppliers, shared dependencies and the progress of actions. Keep evidence of decisions, ownership and oversight so it can support audit and review.
