As federal agencies navigate an increasingly complex digital supply chain, ensuring continuous oversight of supplier cybersecurity has never been more critical—or more challenging. Limited staff resources, evolving compliance mandates, and risk propagation through fourth-party (and beyond) connections demand a smarter, more scalable approach to third-party risk management.Automated Security Assurance for Federal Supplier Oversight

Mandates like FISMA, OMB Circular A-130, Executive Order 14028, and NIST SP 800-161 have established clear expectations: federal agencies must implement robust, continuously monitored supplier risk management programs. Traditional approaches, which rely on periodic assessments and manual data collection, fall short in a landscape defined by constant change and real-time threats.

The RiskRecon Advantage: Unified, Scalable Supplier Oversight

RiskRecon by Mastercard offers an automated, AI-driven platform that delivers a real-time, unified view of third- and fourth-party cyber risk. Using diverse open-source intelligence (OSINT) data, RiskRecon continuously monitors control performance, enabling agencies to scale risk management efforts across hundreds of suppliers—while allowing analysts to focus on the highest-priority issues.

Framework-Aligned Control Monitoring

RiskRecon automatically maps observed risks for controls that align to key federal frameworks, including FedRAMP, CMMC, and NIST SP 800-53. This alignment helps agencies streamline compliance reporting and continuously assess adherence to critical security controls like software patching, encryption, exposed services, and breach history—without requiring suppliers to fill out lengthy forms or surveys.

Efficiency Gains and Operational Impact

By automating evidence collection and assessment workflows, RiskRecon enables teams to eliminate manual data gathering, cut assessment cycles, and lower operational costs. Exception-based review replaces resource-draining, questionnaire-heavy processes—making compliance faster and more effective.

Deep Supply Chain Risk Visibility

Modern threats don’t stop at your immediate vendors. RiskRecon’s platform provides end-to-end visibility into extended supply chains, including fourth-party and beyond. Agencies benefit from proactive alerts on emerging vulnerabilities across their full ecosystem—empowering earlier intervention and better risk mitigation.

Tangible Value for Federal Agencies

  • Reliable, OSINT-based assessments built on real-world observations

  • Reduced time-to-assessment and simplified workflows

  • Increased confidence in vendor security posture through continuous monitoring

  • Lower operational burden on security and compliance teams
