TPRM is Broken Because There’s No Common Language of Risk - Here's How To Fix It
London, UK – 18/02/2026 – Risk Ledger today announced the launch of its new Zero-Friction Partner Programme, designed to help consultancies, value-added resellers, and managed security service providers support clients in modernising supply chain security.
As supply chain attacks increase and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, organisations are under growing pressure to demonstrate meaningful visibility across their supplier ecosystems. Traditional Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) approaches — built around static questionnaires and siloed processes — often struggle to surface systemic risks such as concentration exposure or nth-party dependencies.
Risk Ledger’s network-first Supply Chain Security Platform enables a more connected model, built on standardised third-party data, shared visibility, and continuous insight across interconnected organisations.
The Zero-Friction Partner Programme has been created to accelerate adoption of this approach — removing unnecessary channel complexity and enabling partners to move quickly.
Unlike traditional vendor programmes that rely on rigid tiering structures and heavy certification requirements, Risk Ledger’s Zero-Friction Partner Programme focuses on clarity, collaboration, and commercial simplicity.
Concierge Co-Selling
Partners gain direct access to Risk Ledger subject matter experts for demonstrations, technical validation, and executive-level conversations. This enables partners to confidently introduce the platform without lengthy onboarding barriers.
Transparent Commercial Model & Deal Protection
A clear deal registration framework rewards origination and protects partner-led opportunities through defined first-in principles.
Network-Driven Value
Partners are not introducing isolated assessments. Instead, they connect clients into a growing ecosystem of organisations and suppliers sharing standardised security information. As participation expands, collective visibility and efficiency increase across the network.
“The market is ready for a more connected approach to supply chain security. Security teams recognise that traditional processes are slow, repetitive, and resource-intensive.
We built the zero-friction Partner Programme around one simple principle: remove the red tape so we can move fast together. By simplifying how we work with partners, we’re enabling them to focus on delivering real visibility and meaningful risk reduction for their clients.”
Risk Ledger’s platform helps organisations:
This evolution toward a more active, collaborative model of supply chain security — what Risk Ledger refers to as Active Supply Chain Security — reflects the growing recognition that supply chain risk is systemic, not isolated.
“Supply chain security is not just about collecting information — it’s about understanding how organisations are connected and where systemic exposures exist.
The future of supply chain security is more active, more transparent, and more collaborative. Our partners are critical in helping organisations evolve toward that model — strengthening resilience across industries and critical infrastructure.”
The Risk Ledger Zero-Friction Partner Programme is now open to strategic partners seeking to support clients with a faster, more connected approach to supply chain risk management.
