RiskRecon

RiskRecon by Mastercard focuses on the cyber risk created by business relationships with suppliers, partners and other third parties. Its platform evaluates the external security posture of organizations and turns technical observations into risk information that security and procurement teams can use when assessing vendors. RiskRecon discovers internet-facing assets associated with monitored organizations, evaluates security conditions and continuously tracks changes over time. This is useful because a supplier can introduce risk even when it is outside an enterprise's direct administrative control. Instead of relying only on questionnaires completed during onboarding, organizations can use external evidence to maintain a more current view of supplier security. RiskRecon is particularly relevant to third-party risk management programs in financial services, healthcare and other industries with extensive vendor ecosystems. Its core value is helping organizations prioritize which third parties warrant deeper review or remediation based on observable cyber risk.
