Case Study: Crisis Prevention Institute achieves scalable third-party risk management with Panorays

200+ Vendors, One Platform CPI Secures Its Global Mission with Panorays

The Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) faced a significant third-party risk management challenge. As an organization training professionals in crisis de-escalation, CPI needed to secure its network of over 200 vendors handling sensitive client data. Its small security team, led by CISO Hal Kochiu, was using manual processes that were unsustainable and created compliance gaps, especially after a mandate from its owners to adhere to the NIST CSF framework.

To address this, CPI implemented the Panorays third-party security platform. The solution provided automated vendor assessments, continuous monitoring, and NIST-aligned questionnaires, all centralized in a single system. As a result, Panorays enabled CPI's small team to reduce risk assessment times from weeks to a single day, proactively monitor 170+ vendors, and achieve compliance, providing a strong return on investment and securing its global mission.
