Point in time vs continuous assessment
Hellios and other shared assurance providers operate a point-in-time questionnaire system. The main issue with this, is the security questionnaire is only relevant for that moment, anything can change over the following months and as soon as it does, the information is incorrect.
Risk Ledger continuously assesses your vendors' security. If a supplier increases its security or no longer reaches your requirements you’ll be notified. This allows you to see the state of play for all your suppliers’ internal security controls, lifting the lid on cybersecurity risk.
Price
It’s not uncommon for shared assurance providers to charge on a per-assessment basis, which makes scaling your third-party risk management program extremely costly. Our research found that you could be paying anywhere between £825 and £1,650 per supplier.
With Risk Ledger, you pay a single annual licence for full access to the platform. From here, you can add and connect with all your suppliers, apply custom labels and policies, and begin to map out your Supplier Ecosystem.

Ability to visualise beyond third parties

Communicate and remediate in real-time
Companies like Hellios work as a middleman between you and the supplier, severely hindering your ability to remediate or discuss controls with your suppliers.
Alternatively, with Risk Ledger, if you have a question about anything to do with your suppliers’ security all you have to do is open the discussion panel and leave your question. Your query will be sent directly to the person responsible.
