Approach

Proven with evidence, measured in one score

Four pillars define how we deliver every engagement, from a single vendor assessment to an AI management system.

How we deliver

The four pillars

I

VERITAS

Verified assessment

Evidence-based truth across your controls, your vendors and your AI systems, not self-attestation.

II

AEGIS

Integrated defense

Closing gaps through remediation plans, contract clauses and AI guardrails that extend your defences.

III

APEX

Strategic oversight

One measurable view of technology, cyber, third-party and AI risk for executives and boards.

IV

FLUXUS

Future resilience

Horizon scanning built into every review: CPS 230, DORA, the EU AI Act and emerging AI threats.

APEX in practice

Risk you can measure

The TPR Score turns complex findings into a single number from 0 to 100, weighted by domain importance and control severity. It covers every assessed vendor, with an AI risk domain for vendors that provide or use AI.

100

= a verified, fully aligned security posture

90–100Exceptional / verified alignmentNo action; re-assess at next scheduled review
80–89Acceptable / minor remediationLow-priority remediation plan
70–79Moderate risk / needs attentionHigh-priority remediation plan (AEGIS)
< 70Critical risk / unacceptable exposureContract review and executive notification (APEX)

Third-party risk management

The four-stage lifecycle

  1. Identify & scope

    Master vendor inventory, including shadow IT and AI tools, and criticality tiering.

    APEX
  2. Assess & verify

    Tiered questionnaires with mandatory evidence for critical controls such as MFA and backups.

    VERITAS
  3. Contract & protect

    Security addendum, right-to-audit and breach-notification clauses.

    AEGIS
  4. Remediate, report & review

    Verified closure of findings, executive TPR Score reporting and scheduled re-assessment.

    AI policy (draft), gap report, roadmap

  2. Framework design

    AI risk and impact assessment method, controls selection and integration with your existing frameworks.

    Risk register, Statement of Applicability, procedures

  3. Implementation

    Process rollout, training, documentation, performance measurement and evidence collection.

    Populated registers, training records, KPI dashboards

  4. Assurance & certification

    Internal audit, management review, corrective actions and Stage 1 and 2 certification audits.

    Audit reports, board papers, certification
