The strongest supplier assurance programmes don't just collect evidence. They continuously understand how supplier risk evolves across critical services, third parties and hidden dependencies.

Financial services teams use Risk Ledger to uncover what typical assurance can miss
776 fourth-party suppliers uncovered
From just 98 direct supplier relationships across 8 financial institutions.
92 potential concentration risks identified
Risk Ledger found 92 potential concentration risks, including 62 at fourth parties and beyond.
14 direct suppliers shared by at least half the cohort
Risk Ledger found 14 direct third parties connected to at least 50% of all community members.
Confident decisions require more than supplier evidence
Understanding critical dependencies
Know which suppliers matter most and where hidden dependencies could increase operational risk.
Prioritising what actually matters
Identify which suppliers support critical services, where concentration risk exists, and where assurance effort should be focused first.
Keeping assurance relevant
Make decisions using current supplier intelligence, not information collected months ago.
Demonstrating resilience with confidence
Be ready to show stakeholders and regulators how supplier risk is being actively managed.
Aligning teams around the same supplier view
Give security, resilience, procurement and compliance teams a shared view of supplier risk, so decisions aren’t split across spreadsheets, questionnaires and disconnected workflows.
What we hear from financial services leaders
1
We have supplier reviews in place, but managing assurance across every supplier is still incredibly manual.
2
We know concentration risk matters. The difficult part is understanding where it actually exists.
3
By the time an assessment is complete, the supplier environment may already have changed.
4
We can see our direct suppliers, but visibility beyond them is much harder.
From assurance activity to supplier confidence
Financial services teams already invest heavily in supplier assurance. Risk ledger turns that work into a clearer, more current view of supplier exposure, concentration risk and resilience.

Why hidden dependencies matter
What Hidden Supplier Dependencies Could Increase Our Risk?
Risk Ledger was built for this new way of working
Risk Ledger helps financial services teams move from static supplier assurance to a more connected, continuous view of supplier risk.
Reduce manual assurance effort: Reusable supplier profiles reduce duplicated questionnaires and help teams maintain assurance more efficiently.
Identify hidden concentration risk: Understand where suppliers may depend on the same underlying providers, technologies or services.
Improve fourth-party visibility: Look beyond direct suppliers to understand wider dependencies across the supply chain.
Respond faster when risk changes: Quickly identify whether relevant suppliers may be affected by incidents, vulnerabilities or emerging threats.
See what standard supplier assurance can't
Risk Ledger gives financial services teams a connected view of supplier risk, helping you reduce duplicated assurance effort, understand hidden dependencies and act faster when risk changes.
Reuse supplier assurance: Suppliers maintain reusable profiles that can support multiple customer relationships.
See beyond direct suppliers: Understand fourth-party and nth-party relationships that are difficult to uncover through traditional assessments alone.
Identify shared exposure: Spot where suppliers depend on the same providers, technologies or services, to identify concentration risk before it becomes a resilience issue.
Respond with more context: When incidents, vulnerabilities or supplier changes emerge, understand which relationships may be exposed and where to focus first.
