Security vendor Cynomi, known for its vCISO platform, has announced a new module called Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM). The new capability allows MSPs and MSSPs to fully integrate vendor risk management into their existing workflows, enabling them to better manage risks when engaging with third-party vendors.
TPRM provides a fuller picture to partners overseeing clients’ security posture
Fully integrating with the Cynomi vCISO platform, the TPRM module provides MSPs and MSSPs with a comprehensive view of both internal and external risks. According to the security vendor, the new feature can cut vendor assessment times from the typical 7–16 hours to just 1.5–4.5 hours.
In addition, Cynomi says the module also enables service providers to expand their offerings with premium vendor risk services and advisory engagements, while achieving profit margins of up to 20%.
“Third-party vendors are now a critical piece of every organization’s security picture, yet most MSPs and MSSPs struggle to manage vendor risk for their clients effectively,” said David Primor, Ph.D., co-founder and chief executive officer of Cynomi.
“Our new TPRM module solves this by combining automation, shared intelligence, and purpose-built workflows into one unified system. This module launch reflects our mission to empower service providers to become true strategic advisors to their clients, delivering stronger security with higher profitability,” he added.
Below are Cynomi TPRM’s key capabilities:
- Integrated with Cynomi’s vCISO platform: A single, unified system for internal and vendor risk management.
- Purpose-built for MSP/MSSP workflows: Designed around multi-client, structured workflows, reusable vendor assessments, and user roles.
- Automated risk scoring and standardized assessments: Reduce manual work, errors, and subjectivity.
- Shared vendor intelligence across clients: Eliminates redundant assessments for common vendors.
- Guided workflows and templates: Easy-to-follow to accelerate onboarding and vendor assessments.
- Risk heatmap visualization and 1-click reports: Instantly demonstrate value to clients, ensuring clarity and consistency.
Steady innovation at Cynomi
The announcement of TPRM reflects Cynomi’s ongoing efforts over the past year to strengthen its central cybersecurity hub for MSPs and MSSPs.
In July, the vCISO provider introduced its Business Impact Analysis and Business Continuity Planning features, helping security teams identify and protect mission-critical business processes.
Earlier this year, they also rolled out their Solution Showcase module, providing partners with access to insights covering clients’ current and future security needs.
Cynomi’s State of the vCISO 2025 report shows that demand for virtual CISO services has more than tripled year-over-year. Read more about what’s driving this surge and why partners are turning to vCISO services.
