About the Team

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is responsible for making sure the outside parties Clio relies on including software vendors service providers and platform integrators it lists in the App Marketplace meet Clios bar for security and privacy before they touch Clio or customer data. We sit inside the vendor lifecycle as the security compliance review phase of Procurement after intake and in parallel with Legal and IT.

About the Role

As a Third-Party Risk Analyst you are the person who reads the security documentation and advises on the risk of third-party relationships. You own the day-to-day execution of the security review phase working through vendor submissions reviewing SOC 2 and penetration test reports checking data handling against our requirements and reviewing the security and privacy submissions of partners applying to list in Clios App Marketplace. When the third partys criticality is higher you step up the documentation criteria and adapt. You apply an established set of criteria commensurate with the service provided surface real risk from paperwork and keep reviews moving.

You dont need to have seen every framework or every control but you need to know what a good answer looks like what questions to ask when somethings missing and when to escalate rather than wave something through.

What Youll Do

• Review vendor security documentation submitted through the intake process including SOC 2 reports penetration test summaries security whitepapers AI disclosures and questionnaire responses and determine whether the vendor meets Clios required level of security and privacy
• Review App Marketplace integration submissions and evaluate the security and privacy documentation of integration partners applying to list on Clio. Flag exceptions that could put customer data or Clios brand at risk before a partner is added to the marketplace
• Triage for privacy review by identifying when a vendor or integration will process confidential or sensitive data and route it into a Data Privacy Impact Assessment (DPIA) partnering with Privacy/Compliance
• Escalate for risk acceptance when a risk is identified in the review process. Document and present it to the appropriate stakeholder for decision making
• Move reviews through the workflow by tracking submissions requesting missing artifacts from requesters and vendors responding to comments and handing off cleanly to IT Legal and executive sign-off
• Document your findings and decisions. Record what you reviewed what you found the risks identified and your recommendation so the rationale is reusable and audit-ready
• Maintain the third-party risk registry
