A 4-person compliance team. 1,200 vendors to keep an eye on.
Hundreds of contracts, controls, and updates that never stop coming.
The math just doesn’t add up.
This isn’t a one-off story — it’s what we keep hearing across financial services. Small risk teams are being asked to manage vendor networks that are growing faster (and getting riskier) than ever.
And it’s not just a US issue.
In Europe, the new Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is putting third-party vendors under a spotlight — with requirements around explainability, audit rights, continuous monitoring, and even direct oversight of “critical” providers.
Here in the US, there’s no single “DORA,” but the direction is the same:
1. OCC / FDIC / Fed tightening guidance
2. SEC pushing new rules on cyber and vendor oversight
3. NYDFS requiring risk-based vendor monitoring
That’s why real-time monitoring isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s survival.
1. Spot risks as they happen (not months later)
2. Focus people on what matters most
3. Walk into regulator or board reviews with confidence
When 4 people are responsible for 1,200 vendors, efficiency isn’t optional.
