As corporate networks expand and rely on extensive third-party vendor networks, supplier vulnerabilities have become one of the primary vectors for enterprise data breaches. For organizations scaling operations across South Africa, Kenya, and Botswana, as well as the high-growth markets of Zimbabwe, Malawi, Uganda, and Mozambique, securing your internal network is no longer enough. True cyber resilience requires continuous visibility into the security posture of every vendor, partner, and service provider connected to your business.

Minerva Group partners with Panorays to deliver an automated, end-to-end Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) platform. We help African enterprises eliminate third-party security blind spots, automate vendor risk assessments, and protect their supply chains against indirect cyber attacks.

Why Choose Panorays for Third-Party Risk Management?

The Panorays platform combines automated non-intrusive cyber footprint assessments with customizable security questionnaires and human business context to give you a complete, dynamic view of vendor risk:

• 360-Degree Vendor Risk Visibility: Automatically discover, map, and continuously evaluate the attack surfaces of your third-party vendors—including shadow IT, exposed assets, and unpatched software vulnerabilities.

• Automated Smart Questionnaires: Replace slow, manual spreadsheets with dynamic security questionnaires mapped to global standards (ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST) and regional privacy regulations like POPIA in South Africa.

• Contextual Risk Ratings: Panorays doesn’t just score vendors arbitrarily; it evaluates vendor risk based on the specific business relationship, data access level, and criticality of the service provided to your company.

• Continuous Monitoring & Breach Tracking: Track your supply chain security in real time. Receive immediate alerts when a vendor’s security posture degrades or when a vendor is impacted by a supply chain attack.
