Third-Party Risk (TPRM)
The hack usually happens through a vendor. Companies are scrambling to audit their 5,000 suppliers. Pitch automated "Vendor Risk Monitoring."
20 Ways to Identify Clients
1. Monitor SEC Filings (10-K)
Search "Risk Factors" sections for new disclosures. If they mention "Climate Risk" for the first time, pitch your solution.
2. LinkedIn Sales Nav: "Chief Risk Officer"
The CRO role is booming. Connect with "New decision makers" who are looking to update their stack.
3. "Free Cyber Scan" Lead Magnet
Run a non-intrusive scan of their domain. "We found 3 open ports." Send the report to the CISO.
4. SEO: "ISO 27001 Certification Guide"
Companies need this to sell to Enterprise. Be the guide that leads to the consulting gig.
5. Partner with Insurance Brokers
Cyber insurance requires a risk audit. Brokers can refer you to verify the client is insurable.
6. Content: "Geopolitical Risk Briefing"
Weekly analysis of supply chain threats (e.g., Red Sea shipping). Supply Chain Directors subscribe.
7. Webinars on "Regulatory Changes"
GDPR, CCPA, DORA. New acronyms mean new buyers. Explain the law and offer the compliance tool.

Required by law for many. It's a low-cost "foot in the door" service that leads to bigger advisory work.

Write about "Risk Governance." Help directors ask the right questions to their executives.
15. Google Ads: "Enterprise Risk Management Software"
High value contracts. Target the specific software category (GRC).

Position yourself as an independent risk advisor. It's the ultimate trust position.
