Scout managed service

TPRM without
the headcount.

Hand off the operations of your program to the team that built the platform. We map vendors, triage alerts, chase findings to closure, and brief your board, while the decisions stay yours.

You own the decisions.
We run the program.

Most security teams know they need a mature TPRM program. Few have the headcount to operate one. Managed Scout closes that gap: we configure the platform around your risk appetite, then run it on your behalf. The decisions stay yours. The operational load does not.

01 Your program, our execution
Vendor onboarding and assessments. We intake your portfolio, send assessments, chase responses, and apply Hudson's analysis to every return. Your team sees scored results, not raw questionnaires.
Continuous monitoring. External posture signals tracked across the full portfolio. Alerts triaged before they reach you. Genuine issues escalated with context, not noise.
Incident response support. When a vendor breach or supply-chain event hits, we surface what is exposed, which data is at risk, and the recommended posture. Hours, not days.
01

Onboarding and configuration

We learn your vendor landscape, risk appetite, and compliance requirements, then configure your Scout instance with the right templates, tiers, and monitoring thresholds.

02

Vendor intake

We onboard your existing vendors, establish baseline risk scores, and identify the highest-priority gaps in your current program.

03

Ongoing operations

Assessments, monitoring triage, remediation follow-up, and document tracking handled continuously, without pulling your team into operational work.

04

Reporting on your cadence

Monthly executive summaries and quarterly board-ready reports delivered to your specifications, with trends, open findings, and forward-looking recommendations as standard.

One operating loop,
run for you every day.

The same four-step rhythm a mature TPRM function runs, executed continuously by a Pylon analyst on your portfolio.

02 Analyst operations

Assessments sent, chased, scored by Hudson, and analyst-reviewed before anything reaches you.

External posture tracked continuously. False positives cleared, real change escalated with context.

3 Resolve

Board-ready summaries on your cadence: posture, trends, top risks, and remediation progress.

ASSESS

Assessment lifecycle

Sent, followed up, scored by Hudson, analyst-reviewed, and returned with findings and recommended responses.

MONITOR

Monitoring triage

External posture alerts reviewed on cadence. False positives cleared. Genuine changes escalated in plain language.

FINDINGS

Remediation chase-down

Findings tracked through closure. Vendors followed up on remediations, so nothing sits open unworked.

REPORT

Board reports

Executive-ready summaries on your cadence, in a format boards and auditors can use directly.

DOCUMENTS

Certification tracking

SOC 2, ISO certs, and policies tracked for expiry. Renewals requested proactively, controls extracted on upload.

SUPPLY CHAIN

Sub-processor mapping

Fourth and fifth-party relationships documented and monitored, so a shared dependency's incident is no surprise.

INCIDENTS

Ad-hoc investigations

When a breach or industry event warrants a closer look, we investigate, with an exposure summary ready in hours.

ACCESS

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.

Common questions.

How Managed Scout is scoped, who owns the data, and what happens when an incident hits your portfolio.

04 Questions

Scoped per engagement based on portfolio size, assessment cadence, and on-call expectations. Pricing 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.

Standard Managed engagements include incident-triage hours each month. When a breach or supply-chain event touches a vendor in your portfolio, 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 has an existing profile, auto-fill handles most of the work upfront and the clock shortens considerably.
