CASE STUDY:
Real-Time Third-Party Risk Monitoring for Higher Ed

BRIEF:

A large research university lacked visibility into cybersecurity risks posed by third-party vendors. They needed a process to assess, monitor, and respond to vendor-related threats.

ROLE OF MAX2:

Max² was contracted to build and implement a vendor risk management program to assess critical vendors and continuously monitor them for emerging risks.

WHAT WAS DELIVERED?

Developed and deployed a vendor monitoring solution with automated alerting tied to compromise events, posture shifts, and public disclosures.

OUTCOME:

The university gained real-time visibility into third-party risk and was able to proactively address vendor compromises, reducing their overall risk exposure.
