Supply Chain Risk & Vendor Monitoring
Monitor critical vendors for security incidents, outages, and regulatory actions. Assess impact hours after disclosure, not days later.
The Challenge
Your supply chain is only as secure as your vendors. A breach at a critical supplier, an outage at a platform you depend on, a regulatory action against a partner—these events cascade through your organization. The problem: you typically find out days or weeks after the fact.
Vendor monitoring is manual, incomplete, and reactive. By the time you see the news, your systems are already affected. Customer impact compounds. Incident response becomes chaotic. Trust erodes.
How Watchdog Solves This
We monitor your critical vendors continuously—tracking security incidents, service outages, regulatory actions, data breaches, and operational changes. You get alerts hours after disclosure, giving you time to assess impact and respond before customers are affected.
What You'll Know First
- Security incidents: Breaches, vulnerabilities, and attacks at your critical vendors
- Service outages: Downtime or degraded performance that affects your operations
- Regulatory actions: Fines, investigations, or compliance violations affecting vendor viability
- Data breaches: Compromised customer or operational data at vendors you trust
- Leadership changes: Key departures indicating operational instability
- Financial stress signals: Layoffs, funding problems, or merger/acquisition activity
- Technology changes: Product pivots or deprecations affecting your integrations
Real Impact
Speed of response: Know about vendor incidents hours after disclosure, not days. React before impact cascades.
Risk management: Identify critical vendor vulnerabilities and develop mitigation plans proactively.
Customer protection: Assess customer impact quickly and communicate transparently about incidents.
Operational resilience: Build redundancy and failover plans around vendors that show risk patterns.
