Risk & Exposure

Security Posture & Third-Party Risk Assessment

A comprehensive security maturity assessment across your program and connected vendors, benchmarked against recognized frameworks.

  • 12 to 24 months Strategic roadmap horizon, split into quick wins, medium-term and strategic initiatives
  • 4 Frameworks benchmarked, NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls v8, ISO 27001:2022 and MITRE ATT&CK
  • AI-powered AI-assisted posture analysis combines internal control gaps, external intelligence, and business context to prioritize cyber risk

The challenge

Security maturity and vendor risk are usually assessed by two different teams, using two different methods, on two different timelines. Meanwhile, the same regulators and boards increasingly expect one answer to a single question: How exposed is the organization, including through everyone it does business with?

Approach

How the engagement works

01 · Assess your own posture

Governance, identity, endpoint, network, cloud, application, and data security

02 · Assess your vendors

Third-party and supply chain risk is layered in, covering, concentration risk, and continuous monitoring.

03 · Prioritize and roadmap

One scorecard, one roadmap: quick wins, medium-term, and strategic initiatives.

How it works

From two separate risk pictures to one prioritized roadmap

Why Gruve

Most assessments stop at your own four walls
Gruve extends the same rigor to every vendor you depend on

A security program is only as strong as the vendors plugged into it. This engagement applies the same maturity benchmarking to your internal capabilities and your third-party ecosystem. The roadmap that comes out the other end reflects your actual exposure, not just the part you control directly.
