THIRD-PARTY RISK / SUPPLY CHAIN

Share Data With Vendors Without Handing Over Control

Every vendor, supplier, and partner you share data with becomes part of your attack surface. Contracts and questionnaires can't enforce anything. Lattix binds policy to the data so access stays governed — and revocable — long after the handoff.

/01The Challenge

Third-party breaches are now among the most common and most damaging, because shared data leaves your controls behind. Once you send a dataset to a vendor, partner, or supplier, your protection ends at the handoff — you are relying on their controls, their employees, and their security posture, enforced only by a contract you cannot technically verify. Vendor risk questionnaires capture intent, not enforcement, and offer nothing when the vendor is breached or the relationship ends.

  • Shared data inherits the vendor's security posture, not yours.
  • Contracts and questionnaires describe controls but cannot enforce them.
  • There's no way to revoke a vendor's access to data already delivered.
  • A breach at any vendor exposes the data you shared with them.
  • Offboarding a vendor leaves your data scattered across their systems with no recall.
/02How Lattix Solves It
01

Make Controls Enforceable, Not Contractual

Lattix wraps data shared with third parties in Zero Trust Data Format, binding your access policy directly to each object. The controls you require are enforced cryptographically on every access — not merely promised in an agreement — regardless of the vendor's own posture.

02

Govern Access Across the Boundary

Vendor access is evaluated on every request against identity, organization, and context. You decide exactly who at the vendor can touch the data and under what conditions, and that decision holds inside their environment, not just yours.

03

Revoke at Offboarding or Breach

Because policy and keys travel with the data, you can revoke a vendor's access instantly — when the relationship ends, when terms are violated, or when they suffer a breach — and the data you shared becomes inaccessible everywhere it exists.

04

Prove the Chain of Custody

Every vendor access is recorded to a tamper-evident ledger, giving you verifiable evidence of who in the supply chain touched your data and under what policy — for due diligence, audits, and incident response.

/03What You Get

Shrink Vendor Attack Surface

Shared data stays protected by your policy even inside a vendor's environment.

Enforceable Requirements

Turn the controls in your contracts and questionnaires into cryptographic enforcement.

Instant Revocation

Cut a vendor's access at offboarding, on a violation, or after their breach.

Contain Vendor Breaches

A breach at a third party doesn't expose the data you shared if it stays policy-bound.

Clean Offboarding

Recall access to shared data instead of trusting a vendor to delete it.

Audit-Ready Lineage

A tamper-evident record of every third-party access supports TPRM and compliance.

/05Frequently Asked

How does Lattix reduce third-party data risk?

Lattix wraps data shared with vendors in Zero Trust Data Format so your access policy is enforced cryptographically on every access inside the vendor's environment. You control who can access the data, can revoke it at any time, and have a tamper-evident record of every access.

Can I revoke a vendor's access to data I already sent them?

Yes. Because policy and keys travel with the data, you can revoke a vendor's access instantly — at offboarding, on a contract violation, or after a breach — and the shared data becomes inaccessible wherever it resides.

What happens to our data if a vendor is breached?

Data shared via Lattix stays wrapped and policy-bound, so a breach of the vendor's environment does not expose it unless an attacker can also satisfy your access policy — which you can revoke immediately.

Does this replace our third-party risk questionnaires?

It complements them. Questionnaires capture intent; Lattix makes the required controls technically enforceable and produces verifiable audit evidence to back your third-party risk management program.
