Partner product · Mastercard
Cyber and privacy risk ratingsfor your entire supply chain.
RiskRecon by Mastercard continuously monitors the cyber and privacy posture of every third party you rely on — so vendor risk is measured, not assumed. Delivered and supported in the UAE by ICG MECOS.
Businesses increasingly rely on third parties — and as those dependencies grow, so does the risk they carry. RiskRecon proactively monitors the cyber environment of any entity with an online presence, identifying risks and vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Two rating families cover the full picture: Cyber Ratings for security posture, and Privacy Risk Ratings for data-protection practices — both delivered through one platform, and both available in the UAE through our Dubai team.

RiskRecon Cyber Ratings
Pinpoint and prioritise cyber risk from third parties.
RiskRecon helps you effectively assess cyber risk arising from third-party business relationships — so a vendor's weakness doesn't become your breach.
Prioritise
A unique asset valuation model and customisable risk policies focus your team on what matters most: every finding is prioritised by issue severity and the value of the affected asset.
Monitor
Continuous monitoring across your vendor ecosystem gives real-time visibility into third-party cyber risks — with alerts when a supplier's posture changes.
How it works
Deep asset discovery
Analyst-assisted machine learning models, tailored for each monitored company, ensure accurate attribution of company assets amid evolving shifts over time.
Automated risk prioritisation
Every finding is scored on issue severity and asset value — determined by discovering authentication, transaction capabilities, and the data types each system collects, such as email addresses, credit card numbers and names.
Accurate assessments
Verifiable data collected from public domains makes every assessment independently checkable — with the lowest rate of false positives in the industry.
Greater control
Run assessments as often as needed on as many third- and fourth-party providers as needed, on your schedule.
Reduce financial losses
Advanced third-party assessment at an affordable price keeps your cyber environment — and your balance sheet — out of danger.
Save time and resources
Automation replaces manual vendor reviews, cutting the time and headcount needed to monitor third-party cyber risk.
RiskRecon Privacy Risk Ratings
Measure privacy risk across your entire vendor ecosystem.
As privacy regulation tightens and breaches grow more frequent, organisations face mounting pressure to manage compliance and third-party risk. 91% of organisations plan to assess their vendors' ability to adhere to privacy regulations — RiskRecon's privacy rating is built on an in-depth analysis of six essential domains.
Data subject rights
Verifies the presence of a privacy policy and analyses its details to ensure privacy rights are included.
Consent management
Determines whether an opt-in/opt-out system lets customers specify how, and with whom, their personal information is shared.
Communication encryption
Assesses whether data collected on websites is securely encrypted both during collection and in transit.
Geolocation of data hosting
Detects if personal data is transmitted to or stored in sanctioned countries with comprehensive technology or telecommunications sanctions.
Breach events & enforcement actions
Identifies where personal data may have been compromised and whether authorities have flagged a company's handling of personal information.
Cybersecurity rating
Vendor cybersecurity monitoring that pinpoints potential vulnerabilities to strengthen third-party risk management.
