Third-Party Risk Management

Every organisation is different and for that reason, a one size fits all approach should not be applied to your third-party risk management (TPRM) programme.

Protiviti delivers third-party risk management (TPRM) solutions that are embedded into day-to-day business functions while aligning to industry and regulatory expectations. We identify cost savings, create efficiencies in processes, and mitigate today’s most critical risks.

Successful TPRM drives value by helping business leaders gain visibility and understanding of the impact third parties have on increasing profitability, efficiency and compliance while ensuring your organisation's ecosystem has the resiliency to withstand new and unexpected challenges.

If you're in a regulated environment, we help you drive compliance. If you're in a non-regulated environment, we will help increase profitability.

Slash costs, improve processes, and mitigate the most critical risks of today

An integrated approach to driving value

Protiviti offers an integrated one-stop solution for financial, information technology, compliance and operational due diligence. Transactions that have been through a comprehensive due diligence process are the most successful, and you are able to realis their expected value.
