How SecurityScorecard and Crowe Are Helping Organizations Strengthen Third-Party Cyber Risk Management

Third-party risk has become one of the most pressing challenges for organizations everywhere. Vendor ecosystems are growing fast, but so are the threats hiding within them. These blind spots can disrupt operations, slow compliance efforts, and erode customer trust.

That’s why SecurityScorecard and Crowe LLP have come together to help companies identify and address third-party risks with greater speed and confidence.

Convert Intelligence Into Action

This collaboration combines SecurityScorecard’s intelligence-driven platform with Crowe’s deep experience in cyber and third-party risk management. The goal is to help organizations achieve faster risk reduction, stronger compliance outcomes, and improved business resilience.

At the center of this effort is SecurityScorecard MAX, a fully managed service that continuously detects supply-chain and vendor risks, drives remediation, and delivers audit-ready compliance insights. Crowe’s experts interpret and prioritize those insights, connecting them to business strategy so leaders can act decisively.

As Morgan Strobel, cyber principal at Crowe, explained, bringing together Crowe’s strategy expertise and the SecurityScorecard platform “helps clients transform AI-driven intelligence into actionable steps that support quicker, more confident decisions.”

What Organizations Gain

Through this joint approach, companies can:

  • Protect revenue continuity and customer trust by safeguarding vendor relationships
  • Align third-party risk, compliance, and privacy activities to business goals
  • Accelerate onboarding and approvals with stronger due diligence
  • Increase operational stability through better vendor resilience

Mark Stevens, SVP of Strategic Partnerships at SecurityScorecard, adds, “Organizations can’t afford blind spots in their vendor ecosystem. By combining SecurityScorecard’s real-time intelligence and supply-chain cyber risk management with Crowe’s third-party risk expertise, we’re giving companies the clarity and speed they need to act with confidence.”

Advancing Supply-Chain Detection and Response

SecurityScorecard pioneered Supply Chain Detection and Response (SCDR) to help organizations defend against the fastest-growing threat vector—supply-chain attacks. SCDR continuously monitors third-party risks using factor-based ratings, automated assessments, and proprietary threat intelligence to resolve threats before they become breaches.

SecurityScorecard MAX extends this by enabling response and remediation capability through trusted service partners like Crowe, strengthening operational resilience and mitigating concentrated risk.

Building Resilience Together

With SecurityScorecard’s real-time intelligence and Crowe’s strategic insight, organizations can better understand their third-party landscape and take action before small risks become major disruptions.
