Prerequisites

To better understand what this article describes, we advise you to read the ACSIA CRA User Manual before diving into this one which will cover specific topics around third-party management.

Knowledge base

Third parties are Companies that, somehow, interact with you and your company, but are different from your company. For this reason, ACSIA CRA provides data that are not completely visible.

Anyway, adding a third party will give you an idea how the exposure that a company has on the Internet. So, for example, if the third party you are adding is a company that belongs to your supply chain, you could decide to ask them to improve their exposure to the Internet so that even your company is safe, if the resulting score is low.

How to add a Third Party
