Case Study: RBC Brewin Dolphin achieves comprehensive third-party risk visibility with BitSight

Wealth Management Firm Extends Relationship with BitSight to Gain Insight into Third-Party Risk

RBC Brewin Dolphin, a UK wealth management firm with about 2,000 employees and 33 offices across the UK, Jersey, and the Republic of Ireland, needed clearer visibility into its attack surface and the cyber risks posed by vendors and fourth parties. To close that gap the firm engaged BitSight and deployed BitSight Security Performance Management (SPM) and BitSight Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) to better assess internal posture and validate vendor security claims.

BitSight’s SPM provided continuous insight into RBC Brewin Dolphin’s security posture while BitSight TPRM validated supplier responses, revealed hidden risks (including risky fourth-party relationships), and surfaced where vendors’ digital assets and vulnerabilities reside. The tools — plus BitSight’s news-feed integration and responsive support — enabled faster, data-driven due diligence, confident remediation requests to suppliers, and the ability to identify vendor footprints that could affect up to 95% of the financial services industry, resulting in a more complete, measurable reduction in unseen third‑party risk.
