Explore Our Expertise
We focus on the intersection of cybersecurity, enterprise risk management, and regulatory expectations, helping organizations evaluate controls, strengthen governance, and address risks across their operations and third-party relationships.
Effective risk oversight depends on the quality of the underlying evidence. Security documentation, control assessments, and technical findings must be evaluated in the context of the business and its exposure.
Our advisory work connects technical control observations to risk ownership, remediation priorities, and decisions that stakeholders can act on.
Third-party oversight requires more than collecting questionnaires. It involves understanding how a provider supports the business, evaluating the strength and scope of security evidence, and identifying gaps that warrant action or escalation.
HarborPoint's third-party risk focus includes due diligence, assessment quality review, vendor findings, remediation coordination, and governance processes that support defensible decisions.
Discuss Third-Party Risk
Financial institutions face complex cybersecurity threats, evolving regulatory expectations, and increasing dependence on technology service providers.
HarborPoint Risk Advisory focuses on the cybersecurity governance and third-party risk challenges commonly encountered across:
Our advisory work emphasizes the relationship between technology controls, operational resilience, regulatory expectations, and business risk.
Effective risk management requires more than identifying control deficiencies. It requires understanding their significance, communicating their implications, and supporting appropriate management decisions.
Establish the business context, technology environment, information sensitivity, and relevant risk exposures.
Review documentation, control evidence, and assessment findings to determine whether risks have been appropriately identified and evaluated.
Develop practical recommendations, identify potential control improvements, and support risk prioritization and escalation.
Support governance improvements, remediation planning, and the continued refinement of risk management processes.
Advisory work draws on recognized resources including NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), NIST SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002, SOC 2 Type II assurance reports, and FFIEC cybersecurity and information technology guidance. These are references used in advisory work, not organizational certifications.
