Through evaluating responses to 11 statements related to TPRM practices, organizations were categorized as TPRM leaders, intermediates, or laggards based on their maturity level. The study revealed that TPRM leaders, who proactively integrate cybersecurity risk ratings, experience more successful, challenge-free programs, resulting in higher confidence in their TPRM efforts. Use this report to benchmark your organization against leading TPRM programs and discover how using a risk ratings solution can strengthen your approach to solving cyber risks within your supply chain. - [**](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.riskrecon.com%2Fresources%2Freports-and-whitepapers%2Frisk-ratings-platforms-deliver-critical-third-party-risk-protection) - [**](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://blog.riskrecon.com/resources/reports-and-whitepapers/risk-ratings-platforms-deliver-critical-third-party-risk-protection) - [**](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.riskrecon.com%2Fresources%2Freports-and-whitepapers%2Frisk-ratings-platforms-deliver-critical-third-party-risk-protection) ### What we need from you [![riskrecon_by_mc_rgb_rev](https://blog.riskrecon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2020_RR/riskrecon_by_mc_rgb_rev.png?width=150&height=74&name=riskrecon_by_mc_rgb_rev.png "riskrecon_by_mc_rgb_rev")](https://www.riskrecon.com/) Locations: Murray, UT Boston, MA E: [sales@riskrecon.com](mailto:sales@riskrecon.com) [![Contact Us](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2477095/bf45a9b1-2774-4be7-88e8-3edd40ff6445.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2477095/bf45a9b1-2774-4be7-88e8-3edd40ff6445) #### Solutions - [RiskRecon Cyber Ratings](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/riskrecon-by-mastercard) - [RiskRecon Privacy Ratings](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/riskrecon-privacy) - [RiskRecon Assessments](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/riskrecon-assessments) - [Cyber Quant](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/mastercard-cyber-quant) - [Threat Protection](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/mastercard-threat-protection) #### Use Cases - [Third-party diagnostic & prioritization](https://www.riskrecon.com/use-case/third-party-portfolio-diagnostic) - [Cyber Attack Protection](https://www.riskrecon.com/mastercard-threat-protection) - [Cyber Risk Quantification](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/mastercard-cyber-quant) - [Supply Chain Monitoring](https://www.riskrecon.com/use-case/supply-chain-monitoring-and-visualization) - [Own Enterprise Monitoring](https://www.riskrecon.com/use-case/own-enterprise-subsidiary-monitoring) #### Company - [Why RR](https://www.riskrecon.com/why-riskrecon) - [Our Story Leadership](https://www.riskrecon.com/team#leadership) - [Partners](https://www.riskrecon.com/partners-riskrecon) - [Careers](https://careers.mastercard.com/us/en/search-results?keywords=riskrecon) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/vision/corp-responsibility/commitment-to-privacy/privacy.html?hsLang=en) - [Terms of Use](https://www.riskrecon.com/terms-of-use) #### Resources - [Academy](https://www.riskrecon.com/academy) - [Blog](https://blog.riskrecon.com/) - [Events](https://blog.riskrecon.com/company/events) - [Reports and WPs](https://blog.riskrecon.com/resources/reports-and-whitepapers) - [Videos & Webinars](https://blog.riskrecon.com/resources/videos-and-webinars) - [Ratings Model](https://www.riskrecon.com/cybersecurity-risk-rating-model) Follow us: [**](https://www.facebook.com/riskrecon) [**](https://twitter.com/riskrecon) [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/riskrecon/) © Copyright 2026. | [Privacy Policy](https://www.riskrecon.com/privacy-policy) | [Terms of Use](https://www.riskrecon.com/terms-of-use) Manage Cookies
