Interview with Alexandre Sieira: The state of TPCRM is shifting

The gold standard for third party cyber risk management has long been the humble questionnaire. While we've seen security rating services companies generate scores by scanning a company's external resources. Both approaches are widely considered inaccurate for either creating trust relationships or determining the true risk of doing business with a third party.

Every analysis of this problem comes to the same conclusion: without internal data about the state of systems and the security program, TPCRM can't improve substantially. Most this believe this to be an impossible problem: third parties would never share data this sensitive with a customer and first parties assume the same.

What if they did?

That's exactly the premise behind Tenchi Security, and Alexandre joins us to talk about how they've accomplished the 'impossible' in Brazil and aim to expand their success to the US.
