Third Party Risk Program Maturity Scorecard
Twelve observable questions that score how your third party risk program actually operates today, not how the policy describes it. Each question maps to a five level maturity scale from Reactive to Continuous, with the specific practice that defines each level. The result gives you an overall maturity level, the three lowest scoring areas to fix first, and a worksheet to assign each one an owner and a date. Built to be completed in a working session with security, procurement, legal, privacy, and business owners.
