Cybersecurity & Third-Party Risk Management

Cybersecurity and third-party risk are no longer IT-only concerns. In life sciences, they are now core GxP, data integrity, and inspection risks.

Key Shifts

Periodic assessments → Continuous cyber and vendor risk monitoringManual document review → AI-assisted risk interpretationReactive remediation → Predictive risk prioritizationSiloed functional oversight → Enterprise-wide, inspection-ready governance

AI assembles evidence, narratives, control mappings.

Faster audit response, reduced disruption.

Deep Dive

AI-Driven Vendor Risk & TPRM Intelligence

The target end state is a continuously operating, AI-driven vendor risk intelligence capability that integrates cybersecurity, quality, and operational oversight into a single, inspection-ready system.

Data Inputs

  • Vendor inventory & contracts: services, data access, criticality
  • Security documentation: SOC reports, ISO certifications
  • Quality agreements & SLAs
  • Incident and breach data
  • Threat intelligence feeds
  • Access logs & IAM data
  • Historical audit findings and remediation records

Governance

  • AI flags and prioritizes risk; humans decide mitigation
  • Escalation thresholds and approval gates are configurable
  • All AI outputs, decisions, actions logged and auditable
  • Intended-use boundaries clearly defined for inspection
