IT Third Party Risk Consulting

💻 Program Development and Strategy

Many organizations in Ghana don’t have a structured system for handling vendor risks. That’s where we come in.

Our team helps you build a clear, practical third-party risk management program from the ground up.

We assist with:

• Policy & Procedure Creation: We help you set clear steps for bringing new vendors onboard and managing existing ones safely.
• Governance Framework: We define who handles what — from IT and procurement to legal and security — so responsibilities are clear.
• Risk Tiering: We guide you in ranking vendors based on risk levels. For instance, your stationery supplier may pose low risk, but your cloud hosting provider (who stores client data) may be high-risk and need closer attention.

🧩 Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

At PNGD Consulting, we believe proper risk assessment is key to avoiding costly surprises.

Our consultants take a hands-on approach to assess vendors before and during your partnership. We handle:

• Security Questionnaires: Using trusted frameworks like NIST or ISO 27001, we ask vendors the right questions to gauge their cybersecurity strength.
• Document Review: We carefully review their policies, security certifications, and test results to ensure compliance.
• Technical Scans: We use advanced tools to check for vulnerabilities in their online systems.
• Financial & Reputational Checks: We review the vendor’s stability and background to ensure they can be trusted long-term.

🔄 Ongoing Monitoring and Management

IT risk management doesn’t stop after onboarding — it’s a continuous process.

We help you keep track of your vendors with:

• Continuous Monitoring: Automated systems that alert you if a vendor experiences a data breach or any change in their security posture.
• Performance Reviews: Regular check-ins with high-risk vendors to confirm they maintain strong protection standards.
• Lifecycle Management: When it’s time to end a vendor relationship, we ensure all company data is safely returned and systems are properly closed.

🚨 Incident Response and Remediation

If something does go wrong, PNGD Consulting is ready to help you act fast and recover.

We provide:

• Breach Response Planning: A clear action plan for what to do if a vendor’s security failure affects your business.
• Remediation Guidance: If we find weak areas during assessment, we guide you on how to fix them — and follow up to confirm improvements.
