Which platform for which need?
Board of Cyber
Fits you if your priority is a continuous view of supplier cyber posture, based on external signals. The approach stays centred on scoring and associated governance — pair it with a GRC tool to cover the full risk scope.
CyberVadis
Targets organisations that need standardised, recognised assessment campaigns. The “assessment-as-a-service” model simplifies rollout, but you will need to combine it with other tools for end-to-end GRC steering.
Make IT Safe
Built for teams that want a TPRM cockpit integrated with their GRC: third-party mapping, assessments, risk management and action plans, all in the same tool as their internal risks. If your challenges are regulatory compliance (DORA, NIS 2, GDPR) and end-to-end control of supplier dependencies, that is where we stand out.
Pricing & TCO
Simple, predictable pricing
Beyond the licence fee, the total cost of a TPRM platform depends on the time your teams spend on it. Third-party onboarding, follow-ups, reading and exploiting scorings, configuring campaigns: these hidden costs inflate your TCO. Make IT Safe is built to take most of that effort off your team’s plate.
Predictable pricing
Clear subscription, no hidden module fees, no penalty on the number of third parties assessed.
Maintenance included
Hosting, framework updates, support: your team does not have to run infrastructure or regulatory watch.
Fast time to production
Your first campaigns are live in under 4 weeks. Less time configuring, more time building the relationship with your suppliers.
