3rdRisk is an Amsterdam, Netherlands-based third-party risk management platform that helps organizations assess, monitor, and manage risk across their vendor and supplier relationships. Diligent, a governance, risk, and compliance software provider, acquired 3rdRisk, which now operates as a Diligent brand and forms the basis of Diligent’s offering evaluated in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Third-Party Risk Management Tools for Assurance Leaders.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Built a third-party risk management platform credible enough to be acquired and retained as a named brand within a major GRC vendor's Gartner-evaluated offering.
Gives risk and procurement teams concrete tooling to assess and monitor vendor risk on an ongoing basis, directly supporting third-party risk compliance programs.
Acquisition by Diligent, with the resulting product evaluated in Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for Third-Party Risk Management Tools, is meaningful third-party validation, though deal terms were not disclosed.
Third-party risk management software is an established, competitive GRC sub-category; 3rdRisk's contribution is a focused product now integrated into a larger platform rather than a novel approach.
Inclusion in Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for Third-Party Risk Management Tools for Assurance Leaders is a meaningful independent analyst validation of the product's real-world standing.
Third-party and supply-chain risk management remains a durable, growing compliance priority across regulated industries.
Why CISOs Should Care
Gives risk and procurement teams a dedicated platform for assessing and continuously monitoring third-party and vendor risk, now backed by Diligent's broader governance and compliance platform and Gartner-evaluated credibility.
What Makes It Different
A purpose-built third-party risk management platform, now integrated as a named Diligent brand specifically for vendor and supplier risk assessment rather than general enterprise GRC.
The Matrix Verdict
55/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
An established European third-party risk management specialist absorbed into Diligent's GRC platform as a branded product line, with the combined offering recognized in Gartner's Magic Quadrant; Meaningful Innovator given the direct Gartner validation of the integrated product.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
3rdRisk's ownership by Diligent and its Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluation are confirmed directly on 3rdRisk's own website ('3rdRisk is a Diligent brand'); the specific acquisition date and financial terms were not independently located.
