DigitalXForce ESRPM: Enterprise Security Solution for Enhancing Vendor Security

It is my honor to present a glimpse of the new work happening behind closed doors at DigitalXForce. A sneak peek, if you will!

First and foremost, stop settling for generic GRC/IRM platforms that promise more than they deliver. Forget cybersecurity solutions that market themselves like flashy fast-food ads, with empty promises and zero substance. Compliance doesn’t equal security—and you know it. Your search for a truly actionable, results-driven security assessment ends here.

We bring technology and auditing together in perfect harmony. At DigitalXForce, our Enterprise Trust, Risk, Security and Compliance Management (TRiSCM) platform is designed to simplify governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) with real-time, continuous, and automated solutions, powered by Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture.

Traditional GRC platforms often fall short of providing insights you can act on, and many cybersecurity solutions fail to live up to their promises. Moreover, compliance alone does not equate to security. DigitalXForce changes this narrative with a new approach that is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but one that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

How does DigitalXForce tier vendors?

The DigitalXForce TRiSCM platform assesses vendor risk by classifying them into three levels:

  • Tier 3 Commodity (Low Risk): Vendors with minimal impact on essential functions or sensitive data. Issues here cause minimal disruption.
  • Tier 2 High (Moderate to High Risk): Vendors supporting essential functions. Disruptions could impact customers or trigger regulatory concerns. This tier requires quantitative analysis and verifies assessments like SOC2 or ISO.
  • Tier 1 Critical (Very High Risk): Vendors integral to core operations. Disruptions have significant consequences. Continuous security monitoring and verified assessments are mandatory.

How does a new vendor get onboarded?

To onboard a new vendor, we start with a non-intrusive scan that evaluates their system’s security. This gives the vendor its own outside-in score by analyzing factors like open ports, SSL security, patch hygiene, and domain squatting.

Next, vendors complete a detailed 9-part checklist. Unlike traditional methods prone to errors or outdated data, our platform connects to security tools to generate continuous, comprehensive reports. This continuous and automated risk assessment reflects the vendor’s current security posture.

What do the dashboards show?

Our Criticality Calculator provides a snapshot of the client’s security environment, allowing us to recommend precise actions. Interactive dashboards offer on-demand access to vendor assessments, enabling both point and period analysis.

DigitalXForce goes beyond mere Third-Party Risk Management—it’s a diagnosis. Comprehensive, Continuous, Automated and Precise. This is the future!

Questions about ESRPM and vendor security

What is ESRPM?

Enterprise Security Risk and Posture Management (ESRPM) is the DigitalXForce module that runs configuration checks, operational insights and deployment benchmarking across IAM, SIEM, cloud, OT and IoT, SecOps and enterprise systems through 250+ technology integrations. The ESRPM product page has the full detail.

What does an outside-in vendor scan check?

An outside-in scan reads what anyone can see from the internet, such as open ports, SSL security, patch hygiene and domain squatting. The DigitalXForce External Risk View needs no agent, no questionnaire and no cooperation from the supplier.

What do DigitalXForce connectors read from a critical supplier?

For critical suppliers, DigitalXForce connectors read control evidence from the supplier’s own systems under the customer’s right-to-audit clause and with the supplier’s consent. The connectors read only configuration and compliance signals, never business records or customer data.

Do this once instead of every audit.

Every step above can be done by hand. DigitalXForce does them continuously, maps the result to 50+ frameworks once, and keeps the evidence current between audits. A 30 minute walkthrough on your own framework set shows what that removes from your calendar. Request a demo.
