Product

A dedicated exposure assessment of the technology vendors you choose.

We combine corporate records, official publications, technical sources and jurisdictional context into a report prepared for your organisation.

How the Client Exposure Index is built

Three layers, one number for you

What we document about the vendor

Dated, source-backed findings about ownership, jurisdiction, operations, security record, dependencies, finances and regulatory standing. These are the same for every customer.

Your context

Your answers about how you use the vendor change how much each type of finding matters for you. They never remove a finding.

Your priorities

The weights you give to the eight areas decide how much each area counts towards your exposure index.

The result is an exposure index for your organisation only. Another organisation, with a different context and different priorities, would receive a different number for the same vendor.

Your own report is prepared from the context and priorities you provide.
The process

How an assessment is prepared

  1. Context

    Start with your shortlist, answer two questions per vendor, select your sector and choose your priorities.

  2. Review & order

    Add your organisation name, review your vendors and plan, then place your order. Your PDF is issued to your organisation only.

The record behind the report

Sources and evidence

Every finding shows its date and the type of source it comes from. Appendix A of your report lists the sources for each vendor, with a reference number for every finding. Where the public record is limited, the report says so instead of guessing.

Types of sources we use

  • Official company registers and filings
  • Government and regulator publications
  • Sanctions and export-control lists
  • Technical databases and advisories
  • The vendor's own documents
  • Established news reporting
