The operational layer

Support your program without outsourcing the judgment.

ThirdNexa organizes the work and preserves the evidence. Your firm determines which obligations apply, evaluates each vendor, and records every approval or compliance conclusion.

Vendor inventory

Keep legal names, services, ownership, data access, systems access, criticality, contacts, and status in one controlled record.

Due diligence and reviews

Run initial and recurring reviews with questionnaires, supporting evidence, findings, remediation, recommendations, and recorded firm decisions.

Contracts and documents

Track agreements, renewal terms, notice windows, evidence expiration dates, and Regulation S-P notice-clause verification.

Reg S-P service provider oversight

A dedicated tab on every vendor records customer-information handling, the breach-notice clause and its notification window, written assurances such as SOC 2 reports, and a dated monitoring log — with a firm-level readiness view and per-vendor exam evidence exports.

Vendor incident response

Record breaches, outages, and cyberattacks with severity, customer-information involvement, root cause, and attachments. Reference timers track the 72-hour vendor and 30-day customer notice windows, and a guided checklist documents each response step — your firm records every decision.

Fourth-party tracking

Record the subcontractors your vendors rely on, the data they access, and how each was identified. A firm-level view flags when the same subcontractor appears under multiple vendors, so concentration is visible.

AI-assisted contract review

When you import a contract, AI suggests breach-notification, audit-rights, and subcontractor clauses with the matching excerpt, page, and section. You accept, edit, or dismiss each suggestion — nothing is marked verified on your behalf.

AI questionnaire pre-review

When a vendor returns an assessment, AI compares answers against their attached SOC 2 or security policy, flags discrepancies with cited evidence, and drafts suggested findings for your reviewer to create or dismiss.

Deadlines and follow-up

Keep review dates, contract notices, expiring evidence, open findings, and assigned tasks visible throughout the vendor lifecycle.

Examination evidence

Generate a reproducible PDF and CSV package covering inventory, reviews, findings, contracts, documents, and vendor incidents.

Exam response tracking

Track every exam request item with an owner and due date, link the vendor records that answer it, and keep a permanent production log of exactly what was sent to examiners.

FINRA vendor request report

For broker-dealers, export critical vendors and banks as a Gateway-ready CSV or PDF to support the annual FINRA third-party vendor request — prepared for manual entry, not filed on your behalf.

SEC regulatory updates

Recent SEC press releases, rulemaking notices, and risk alerts appear on the Compliance & Regulations page, updated daily with links to the official source.

Compliance calendar

One master schedule of recurring obligations — filings, reviews, certifications, training, testing — shown alongside every deadline already in your vendor records, with recurring entries that reschedule themselves when marked done.

Annual review evidence pack

One-click export of the year's vendor oversight activity — reviews completed, findings raised and resolved, incidents, and recorded decisions, with a linked evidence index — ready for your Rule 206(4)-7 annual program review.

Day One vendor summary

A one-page PDF or spreadsheet of your key service providers — services, risk tier, customer information access, review status, open findings — the summary examiners ask for on day one.

Inside the product

See the workflows your team will use.

Three of the newest workflows, shown with illustrative sample screens. Every record shown is fictional, and every status is something your firm records — ThirdNexa never labels a vendor compliant or approved.

Illustrative sample screen: a vendor incident record for unauthorized access with severity and status, 72-hour and 30-day notice timer cards, a five-step response checklist, and a quarterly incident chart

Vendor incident response

Record breaches, outages, and cyberattacks with severity, root cause, and attachments. Reference timers track the 72-hour vendor and 30-day customer notice windows while a guided checklist documents each step your firm takes.

Illustrative sample screen with fictional data.

Illustrative sample screen: a Reg S-P readiness dashboard with summary tiles, a vendor oversight gaps table listing breach-notice clause and assurance status per vendor, and an export exam evidence action

Reg S-P readiness

See which vendors handle customer information, whether the breach-notice clause is recorded, and which written assurances are expiring — then export exam evidence per vendor or for the whole firm.

Illustrative sample screen: a firm-level fourth parties table listing each subcontractor, its vendor, data accessed, and source, with a concentration flag where one subcontractor serves two vendors

Fourth-party tracking

Record the subcontractors behind each vendor, the data they access, and how they were identified. The firm-level view flags when the same fourth party appears under multiple vendors, so concentration is visible.

RIA use cases

For law firms

Support your financial-services clients' vendor oversight.

Outside counsel can organize contract reviews, cited evidence, and supporting records for a client's vendor oversight work in one shared workspace. The client's authorized decision-maker retains every approval — ThirdNexa never treats counsel's work as the client's determination, and law firms are not assumed to share their clients' SEC/FINRA obligations.

Organize the review

Structure contract clause reviews and due diligence evidence for each client engagement.

Keep the citation

Every extracted clause and drafted answer links to its source document, page, and quoted passage.

The client decides

Approvals, risk tiers, and compliance conclusions are recorded only by the client's authorized users.
