A vendor incident is a budget event, not just a security one
Disruption, penalties and incident response all land on the same balance sheet, often without anyone quantifying the exposure beforehand.
For CFOs
Vendor risk has a cost. Know it before it affects your business.
A vendor breach doesn’t stay inside the security team. Cynapze gives finance leaders the visibility to understand third-party exposure before the cost of a supplier incident lands on the balance sheet.
The challenge
Where traditional TPRM falls short for CFOs
Security spend without a clear way to justify it
Approving a risk budget is harder without a consistent way to show what exposure existed before, and what changed after the investment.
Compliance costs that grow faster than the budget
NIS2 and DORA extend obligations to critical suppliers, and manual oversight scales poorly as the list of requirements keeps growing.
No consolidated view of vendor risk for board reporting
When the board asks how exposed the company is through its supply chain, the honest answer often means piecing together disconnected sources.
Vendor risk treated as a security topic, not a business one
Without a shared view between finance and security, decisions get made without weighing the financial exposure behind a grade.
Audit preparation that eats into closing season
Pulling vendor compliance evidence by hand, when finance is already stretched, adds avoidable strain to a demanding calendar.
The solution
One platform built for CFOs needs
Step 01 of 04
Portfolio-Level Visibility
See every vendor's security grade in one dashboard, refreshed daily, instead of waiting on a yearly review.
Get a portfolio-level view of average score and grade distribution, useful context for board discussions.
Auto-detect vendors and map how they interconnect, so concentrated and fourth-party exposure is visible before it becomes a surprise.
Track how vendor risk trends over time, with a summary view your role can read without a security background.
Step 02 of 04
Structured Vendor Reviews
Send questionnaires aligned to NIS2 and DORA, the same process every time a new vendor or contract comes up.
Assess a vendor once, then project the result onto every framework you report on.
Track every assignment to completion, so a stalled review doesn't quietly slip past a renewal date.
Turn a flagged gap into a remediation task with an owner and a due date.
Step 03 of 04
Risk Mapped to Business Stakes
Cross-reference each vendor's grade with business criticality, so spend and oversight concentrate where exposure is real.
Match emerging threats against your vendors, with intelligence from European and global authorities, to know who is affected within hours.
Get notified when a vendor tied to a critical contract drops a grade, or when a provider you share with others is affected.
Review a single matrix of vendor risk across the portfolio, useful for budget conversations grounded in real exposure.
Step 04 of 04
Subscriptions and Spend, in View
Generate NIS2 and DORA-aligned reports directly from vendor data, ready for the board or an auditor.
Track compliance readiness from a single control set projected across every framework.
Centralize evidences and certifications with expiry tracking, so nothing lapses unnoticed mid-cycle.
Give auditors scoped access and keep a running history of assessments and remediation, so reconstructing a year takes minutes.
Built for finance leaders who need to understand vendor exposure without becoming security experts to read the dashboard.
Outcomes

What is Cynapze?
Cynapze is a third-party risk management platform. It helps organizations monitor, assess, and document the cybersecurity posture of their vendors and suppliers, all from one place.
Who is Cynapze built for?
Cynapze is built for organizations that need to manage vendor risk at scale, from security teams and risk officers to finance leaders who need visibility without becoming security experts.
How is Cynapze different from a spreadsheet or a manual review process?
Manual processes go stale the moment they're finished. Cynapze replaces static, point-in-time reviews with continuous monitoring, structured assessments, and a single record of every vendor's risk over time.
Do I need a security background to use Cynapze?
No. The platform is designed for both technical and non-technical roles, with role-based views that adapt to what each person on your team actually needs to see.
Can Cynapze scale with my vendor portfolio as it grows?
Yes. Whether you're managing a handful of vendors or several dozen, Cynapze is built to add vendors, assign criticality, and track risk without the process breaking down as your portfolio grows.
How long does it take to get started?
After creating your account, a guided setup walks you through completing your company profile, inviting team members, and adding your first vendors. Every step can be skipped and resumed later.
What do I need to add a vendor?
Just the vendor's name and domain to begin monitoring. From there, you can assign criticality, send assessment questionnaires, and build out their full risk profile over time.
Can I invite my team to use the platform?
Yes. Company admins can invite team members and assign them roles that determine what they can see and do within the platform.
What happens after I add a vendor?
Once a vendor is added, you can choose to actively manage them, which triggers ongoing monitoring, lets you send assessment questionnaires, and allows you to track remediation plans tied to their risk profile.
How do I get help if I run into an issue?
A help center with searchable articles and contextual guidance is available directly in the platform, alongside a contact form for direct support requests.
What subscription tiers does Cynapze offer?
Four tiers: Freemium, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each tier increases the number of vendors you can actively manage and the depth and frequency of monitoring data available.
How many vendors can I manage on each tier?
Freemium does not include active vendor management. Silver supports up to 10 managed vendors, Gold up to 25, and Platinum up to 50.
Is there a free trial?
Cynapze does not currently offer a time-limited free trial. The Freemium tier lets you explore the platform with a one-time vendor score, without an ongoing subscription.
How does billing work?
Subscriptions are billed annually. Upgrading to a higher tier takes effect immediately, with the price difference prorated. Downgrading takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Subscription cancellation is handled by our support team rather than through self-service. Reach out and we'll take care of it.
Does Cynapze help with NIS2 compliance?
Yes. Cynapze includes questionnaire templates aligned to NIS2 requirements and gives you the continuous monitoring, documentation, and audit trail needed to demonstrate supplier oversight.
Does Cynapze help with DORA compliance?
Yes. Cynapze covers the ICT third-party risk management pillar of DORA, with continuous monitoring of ICT providers, structured due diligence, and reporting aligned to DORA's documentation expectations.
Does Cynapze cover GDPR requirements?
Cynapze helps you monitor and document the security posture of vendors processing personal data on your behalf, supporting the due diligence expectations under Article 28. It is not a full GDPR compliance management tool.
Can I generate compliance reports directly from Cynapze?
Yes. You can generate reports from your vendor data aligned to the frameworks you work with, ready to share with auditors, regulators, or your own leadership.
Does Cynapze automatically map my vendor data to specific regulatory controls?
Not automatically. Cynapze gives you the structured data, documentation, and audit trail that support your compliance work, but framework-to-control mapping is not an automated feature in the current version.
Where is my data hosted?
Your data is hosted on a SecNumCloud sovereign cloud, the qualification issued by ANSSI, the French national cybersecurity agency, with no dependency on US cloud providers. This reflects a deliberate choice to support data sovereignty for European organizations.
Is Cynapze built with European compliance standards in mind?
Yes. The platform's hosting and infrastructure choices are built around European digital sovereignty principles, reflecting the regulatory environment our customers operate in.
Is my company's data isolated from other Cynapze customers?
Yes. Cynapze is a multi-tenant platform with strict data isolation between companies. Each organization only has access to its own data and the vendors it manages.
Who can see my vendor risk data inside my organization?
Access is role-based. Company admins control which roles can see what, including detailed technical findings, so sensitive data stays restricted to the people who need it.
Where does Cynapze get its security data from?
Cynapze integrates with SecurityScorecard, an established security ratings provider, as its data source. Cynapze adds the layer on top: vendor categorization, risk prioritization, questionnaires, remediation tracking, and reporting.
