Soft Techlab

Vendor risk audits for fintech operations — we test how your third parties are selected, governed, and watched once they sit inside payments, KYC, hosting, and customer support.

Primary engagement

Vendor Risk Audit — a structured review of how fintech operations rely on third parties and whether residual risk is measured with evidence.

You receive a ranked findings pack: diligence gaps, contract control weaknesses, access and data-flow issues, monitoring blind spots, and a remediation sequence your risk and procurement owners can schedule. Pricing is informational; work begins after a written proposal.

From recent engagements

Fintech teams who asked us to pressure-test the vendors their operations depend on.

Soft Techlab mapped our payment processors and KYC vendors in two weeks. The residual-risk register finally matched what operations actually depended on.
Mei Ling Cheung — Head of Operational Risk, licensed remittance firm
Their critical-vendor deep dive caught concentration we had waved past in board packs. We renegotiated exit clauses before the next licence renewal.
Daniel Okoye — COO, digital wealth platform
Clear sampling, named owners, and a remediation order our procurement team could run without another consulting layer.

Common questions

What does a vendor risk audit cover?

We review how your fintech operations rely on third parties — onboarding diligence, contracts, access, data flows, concentration, and ongoing monitoring — then test whether those controls operate with evidence.

Do you replace our procurement process?

No. We audit and strengthen the vendor risk programme you already run. Findings feed your risk committee and procurement owners; we do not negotiate contracts on your behalf unless that is scoped separately.

How long does a typical engagement take?

A focused vendor risk audit usually runs three to five weeks once scope and vendor lists are agreed. Critical-vendor deep dives can be shorter; portfolio programmes take longer.

Is pricing on this site a checkout?

No. Listed figures are informational starting points. Work begins only after a written proposal; this site does not process payments.
