Assurance that stops at your first-tier suppliers

With E2E Risk

Cyber Risk Profile assurance aligned to DCPP

Posture watched live

Assurance does not stop at tier one - it follows the contract down.

How it works

One lifecycle, end to end.

01 Onboard

It starts at intake

New suppliers captured the moment they are engaged.

No more shadow vendors found at audit.

02 Profile

Right depth

Criticality and data exposure set the assessment depth.

Effort lands where the risk actually is.

03 Assess

Native to your frameworks

Assessed against the regimes you answer to, at control level.

Defensible judgements, not a tick-box.

04 Evidence

Capture once

Evidence inherits across every overlapping requirement.

Re-used, not re-collected, each cycle.

05 Remediate

Close the gap

Findings become owned actions with dates.

Progress tracked, not forgotten.

06 Monitor

Stay current

Outside-in signals and review dates keep it live.

You learn before the auditor does.

The difference

Flow-down, enforced.

What you do	Spreadsheets + email	E2E Risk
Flow-down	Trust and hope	Cascaded and evidenced
Sub-contractors	Out of sight	Posture surfaced
DCPP profiles	Per-supplier paperwork	Tracked across the estate
Def Stan evidence	Rebuilt each bid	Captured once, re-used
Posture	A point in time	Monitored continuously
An audit	A scramble	A current pack on demand
