Manage chain risks without the hassle

Organizations are working with more and more external parties and are becoming increasingly dependent on them. The number of suppliers (from IT to service providers) keeps growing, shifting a significant portion of risk outside the organization. At the same time, the pressure is mounting: legislation like NIS2 and DORA requires you to manage these risks in a demonstrable way. But how do you do that efficiently and at scale, without onboarding every party individually or getting stuck in endless email threads and Excel files?

How Do You Handle External Risks?

  1. Chain responsibility is more than a compliance checkbox
    New legislation requires organizations to identify and manage risks posed by third parties. But those who take this seriously don’t do it just to tick the compliance box. Organizations do it to be resilient, trustworthy, and future-ready. Chain risk management isn’t just a paper exercise, it’s a strategic tool to achieve exactly that.
  2. Collaborating efficiently and securely with third parties
    With our new feature in Key Control Dashboard, you can easily invite external parties to provide risk-related information — no user account required. This new functionality allows you to

  • Assess control measures at suppliers
  • Request supporting documents such as certificates, DPIAs, or policy documents
  • Send out periodic questionnaires

All of this takes place within a secure and controlled flow that is fully audit-proof. No need to grant accounts or permissions to third parties.

Real-world use cases

This functionality is highly versatile and helps you manage risks in a concrete, structured, and verifiable way. Whether it’s about security, privacy, or business continuity, you can involve external parties in your risk processes in a focused and efficient way. That makes risk management not just easier — but also more effective. Examples from practice include:

  • ISO27001 self-assessments for suppliers
  • Data breach checks or awareness scans among processors (GDPR)
  • BCM control assessments for IT partners (DORA)
  • Requests related to chain responsibility under NIS2

What’s the benefit?

Managing chain risks in a structured and accessible way brings peace of mind, clarity, and trust, both inside and outside your organization. You save valuable time on manual processes, improve the quality of your risk documentation, and avoid fragmented communication with third parties. You’re not just working towards demonstrable compliance, you’re strengthening collaboration across the chain and boosting your organization’s overall resilience.

From internal control to chain-wide oversight

In a digital world, risk management doesn’t stop at your front door. Organizations that actively manage chain risks are building a foundation that goes beyond mandatory checks. They’re actively building trust with clients, regulators, and partners.

Key Control Dashboard helps you take that step: from internal control to full chain oversight. Together, we’re building a more resilient Netherlands.
