Third-party technologies, AI vendors, and service providers introduce some of the highest, and often least visible, risks organizations face.

 

Third-party diligence helps create durable, compliant agreements by focusing on legal, privacy, and AI governance risk, before contracts are signed or systems are deployed.

 

Diligence approach

Vendor and partner reviews may include:

• Assessment of AI claims, assurances, and technical representations

• Evaluation of privacy and data-handling practices

• Review of governance structures and accountability

• Identification of regulatory and downstream risk

 

Findings are translated into clear, actionable guidance.

 

Practical outcomes

• Risk-prioritized recommendations

• Contractual protections aligned to actual risk

• Clear decision support for procurement and leadership

 

This work complements security and procurement functions by addressing legal, privacy, and AI-specific risk dimensions.

 

Engagements are tailored to each organization’s industry, maturity, and risk profile. Services may be delivered as discrete projects, ongoing advisory relationships, or custom training programs.
