Lack of visibility of your supplier risk.

Time consuming and costly assessment processes.

FSQS Stage 3 Pooled assessment takes the heavy lifting from you, we manage the process for you and support your supplier along the way.

Introducing Stage 3

Many organisations struggle with capacity to assess their suppliers, FSQS Stage 3 Pooled Assessment significantly reduces your financial and administrative burdens associated with audits.

A Stage 3 review uses information already provided into FSQS and external assessments such as ISO 27001 and SOC2, removing duplication and reducing the amount of additional effort required.

Developed by our FSQS community, the Stage 3 scope is aligned to the risk topics that matter the most to financial services companies. It has been designed by the industry, ensuring the results align to industry standards making the results more relevant and easier to consume.
