Public Data

Overview

The Public Data in SAFE TPRM provides deeper visibility into a Third Party’s publicly available security, legal, and compliance posture. This allows TPRM Analysts to understand a vendor’s public-facing risk indicators and make informed decisions before proceeding with onboarding or continuing engagement.

The enhanced Public Data panel now consolidates information related to:

Security Breaches
Leaked Credentials
SEC Filings (US-based only)
Recent News
Legal & Compliance Indicators

These insights help analysts quickly gauge external risks and determine whether a Third Party requires additional scrutiny or whether alternatives should be considered.
