ScoutHiring a third-party risk analyst takes six months and a headcount you probably do not have. Managed Scout is the same platform with our people already on it, from week one.
One operating loop,
run for you every day.
The same four-step rhythm a mature third-party risk function runs, executed continuously by a Pylon analyst on your portfolio. You see the output, not the operations.
Score every vendor
Assessments sent, chased, scored by Hudson, and analyst-reviewed before anything reaches you.
Watch the portfolio
External posture tracked continuously. False positives cleared, real change escalated with context.
Chase findings down
Findings tracked through closure. Vendors followed up. Nothing sits open on a forgotten task.
Brief your leaders
Board-ready summaries on your cadence: posture, trends, top risks and remediation progress.
Eight jobs,
off your desk.
Everything a third-party risk function does between the decisions. You keep full access to the instance the whole time: see everything we see, export anything, override any call.
Assessment lifecycle
Sent, followed up, scored by Hudson, analyst-reviewed, and returned with findings and recommended responses.
Monitoring triage
External posture alerts reviewed on cadence. False positives cleared, genuine change escalated in plain language.
Remediation chase-down
Findings tracked through closure, with vendors followed up, so nothing sits open and unworked.
Board reports
Executive-ready summaries on your cadence, in a format boards and auditors can use directly.
Certification tracking
SOC 2, ISO certs and policies tracked for expiry. Renewals requested proactively, controls extracted on upload.
Sub-processor mapping
Fourth and fifth-party relationships documented and monitored, so a shared dependency is never a surprise.
Ad-hoc investigations
When a breach or industry event warrants a closer look, we investigate, with an exposure summary ready in hours.
Full platform visibility
Complete access to your instance at all times. See everything we see, export anything, override any call.
Same platform.
Different operating model.
Both tiers run on Scout, with Hudson and the Trust Network. Managed is a superset: every self-service capability, plus Pylon analysts running the day to day. Moving between them is a conversation, not a re-implementation, and it works in both directions.

Four steps
to running.
No re-implementation, no data migration project. We configure your instance, take on your existing vendors, and start operating.
Common
questions.
How Managed Scout is scoped, who owns the data, and what happens when an incident hits your portfolio.
Scoped per engagement, based on portfolio size, assessment cadence and on-call expectations. It is an annual flat fee, not per seat. We share a quote on the discovery call. No two Managed engagements look alike, so we do not publish a price card.
You do. Scout is your single source of truth for vendor risk. Export anytime, retention is your choice, no lock-in clauses. Full platform access is yours throughout the engagement, not just at the end of it.
Standard engagements include incident-triage hours each month. When a breach or supply-chain event touches a vendor you depend on, we surface what is exposed, what data is at risk and the recommended posture within hours, not days. A summary you can take to leadership, not a raw feed to interpret yourself.
Yes. Self-service customers move to Managed without losing data, configurations or Trust Network profiles. Migration is a conversation, not a re-implementation, and it works in reverse too.
Five business days for standard assessments, from the point a vendor begins responding. Critical vendors can be expedited. Where the Trust Network already holds a profile, auto-fill handles most of the work up front and the clock shortens considerably.
