Overview

Product Information on RiskRecon

Updated 13th October 2025

What is RiskRecon?

RiskRecon is a software designed to assist organizations in managing third-party risk by providing continuous monitoring and analysis of vendors' cybersecurity practices. The software enables users to evaluate the security postures of external partners through automated assessments that use openly available data and proprietary techniques. It offers features such as risk rating, detailed security reporting, and benchmarking, helping businesses identify potential vulnerabilities in their supply chain. RiskRecon supports compliance and governance efforts by highlighting areas where vendors may fall short of industry standards and enables prioritization of risk mitigation actions. The software aims to improve decision-making regarding vendor relationships and to reduce exposure to threats originating from third-party connections.

RiskRecon Pricing

RiskRecon software pricing is based on factors such as the number of vendors or third parties monitored and the features included in the selected tier or package. The software typically offers multiple subscription-based plans with varying levels of assessment depth, reporting capabilities, and user access, allowing organizations to choose a suitable option for their third-party risk management needs.

“RiskRecon's Data Breach Notification Enhances Third Party Risk Management”

3.0
Apr 3, 2025
RiskRecon is one of our key third party and supplier risk management tools and their data breach notification is useful. There are too many false positives which require human interaction which should be solved using AI in the future. However, the ease of use of the tool and vendor breach notification is making the product worth it.

RiskRecon Likes & Dislikes

Like

Ease of use, great portal that allows us to review different vendors and ensure there 3rd party services meet our needs. Continuing support by support team to inform us of new product specific updates or additions that would allow us to review our 3rd parties and ensure they meet different Information Security criteria or security frameworks such as HIPPA, NIST, SOX, etc..

Like

Ease of use and supplier Data breach notification

Like

The ability to share reports with third parties so I don't have to be a go-between for any issues that arise with the third parties that we ask to review and respond to. They have an interface where they can see the report results and recommended solutions.

Dislike

There are so many integrations sometimes it is difficult to know which we should use or provide the most bang for the buck. Also, the tool has so many frameworks and controls it can be difficult to ensure the vendor meets the ones critical to success to our TPRM program.

Dislike

False positive rate, not fully customizable, not combined with offline security assessment

Dislike

Weaknesses: 1. Currently using separate user IDs and passwords, but we are working on AD integration (which it was not obvious was available in their administration menu); 2. ability to trace what improved or declined between scans is limited (beyond the generic title); 3. Reports can be tricky if you aren't paying attention to which categories in your portfolio are being applied to them.

    The tool has been very useful. The only drawback I've experienced is unnecessary "noise" that can lead to misleading and inaccurate results for some of the larger vendors being reviewed.
