● B2B offer — Fund management activities

Third-party cyber risk — Fund management activities: suppliers registered, evidence checked

Sorègue Gestion keeps a provider register that lists contracts but not the functions they support, so nobody knows which ones would stop valuation. The agent reads the supplier register, the contract vault and the valuation calendar: it qualifies function by function, traces the real sub-processors and prepares exit plans in order of criticality. The operational risk officer decides; the managing director signs acceptances. You arbitrate on dated facts: every file arrives with its factors, its counted unknowns and the document that will lift them — and the signature stays yours, handed back in minutes rather than in committee.

✦ In brief

A Blue Lemon Agent third-party cyber risk agent registers the supplier relationship, derives criticality from the functions supported, checks evidence against its scope and period, unfolds the subcontracting chain, measures concentration across the aggregate of services and prepares treatment and exit plans. It runs on local inference or is hosted in France, with an architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial laws, location alone not guaranteeing immunity.

Included in the package: hosting and AI consumption up to the volume of your capacity tier, in documents, exchanges, tokens and storage; beyond that, re-invoiced at real cost with no margin, tracked in your client area as usage statements are issued. Maintenance and supervision subscription for an initial term of 12 months for the Agility package, 24 months for the Serenity package and 36 months for the 100% Sovereign package, renewable; support levels (SLA 72 h / 24 h / 4 h) optional. Bespoke development, additional integrations or exceptional volumes are quoted separately. Support Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Prices exclude VAT.
AI model: none of the AI models offered currently carries a fixed surcharge. When the selected model carries a cost, that cost is shown when you choose it, before you order, and re-invoiced at the cost incurred, with no mark-up; usage is billed at the publisher's price. Publishers' prices are published in US dollars: the amount re-invoiced is the amount in euros actually borne by Blue Lemon Agent on the publisher's invoice, at that invoice's exchange rate, with no commission or mark-up.
Included components and additional components Components included in the base offer: the Blue Lemon Agent software foundation, the AI models listed in the order journey, the standard channels (Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp Business, email, website chat, calendars, Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace, file storage, market VoIP telephony, professional social-media pages and accounts, Google Business Profile), hosting for the package chosen, in France by default, backups, supervision, updates and support. If adapting the AI agent to your constraints, your needs or your requests requires other paid components — a third-party publisher's software licence, paid API access to one of your applications, hosting of health data, for which French law requires an HDS-certified host (art. L. 1111-8 of the French Public Health Code), SecNumCloud-qualified hosting, a speech synthesis service, particular hardware —, they are offered to you as an option or on quotation and re-invoiced at the cost incurred; nothing is committed without your written agreement. Where the artificial intelligence model you choose entails an additional cost, that cost is shown to you before you order and re-invoiced to you at the cost incurred, with no margin.

Use cases

What does the agent actually do?

Eleven modules included in the core, plus sovereign AI; a single state machine, with links to neighbouring agents. The agent carries out by itself what you authorise it to do; the decision stays with your authorised managers, who set what it does on its own and what it submits to them.

Included in your agent The 12 capabilities essential to this promise are included, at no extra cost.
From 512 € excl. VAT / month

Third-party and service register

Records the supplier, group, service, contract, sub-processors, countries, data, access, owners, dates and relationship status.

Business criticality and data

Links the service to the functions it supports, target recovery times, volumes, data categories, privileges and substitutability.

Boundary: qualifies data to size the security risk and the dependency. Lawfulness of the processing, its legal basis and the record of processing activities belong to the DPO/GDPR support agent, billed separately.

Adaptive questionnaires

Selects questions by criticality and applicable framework, reuses answers still in date, asks for justification and tracks non-responses.

Evidence collection and checking

Checks period, scope, issuer, signature, qualifications, exceptions, corrective plans and the consistency of the attestations provided.

Boundary: checks SECURITY evidence — scope, period, issuer. Documents already held by the DPO/GDPR support agent are reused as they are: the same supplier is neither re-surveyed nor billed twice.

Exposure and authorised vulnerability review

Aggregates security advisories, public incidents and the expressly authorised surface, with no intrusive testing and no unproven attribution.

Risk scenarios

Structures feared events, sources, paths through the third party, existing measures, severity, likelihood and residual risk.

Explainable scoring

Computes separate dimensions with their factors, weights, unknowns and confidence; keeps the score before and after the supplier’s rebuttal.

Contracts and requirements

Compares clauses on security, notification, audit, location, subcontracting, continuity, reversibility and deletion.

Boundary: carries security, reversibility and notification requirements into the contract. Drafting the Article 28 clauses and the data processing agreement remains the work of the DPO/GDPR support agent.

Treatment plans

Turns each gap into a measure, with owner, deadline, expected evidence, any exception and a motivated temporary acceptance.

Monitoring and incidents

Tracks changes, evidence deadlines, relevant vulnerabilities, declared incidents, service commitments and reassessments.

Exit, evidence and steering

Prepares alternatives, extraction, transition, revocation, deletion and tests; keeps decisions, versions and indicators.

Sovereign AI

The hosting and confidentiality foundation the agent runs on.

Compliance of the processing itself — lawfulness, record of processing activities, impact assessments — and the drafting of Article 28 clauses are NOT part of this core: they are carried by the DPO/GDPR support agent, billed separately. This core handles third-party security, dependency, concentration and exit; it unfolds the subcontracting chain to rank 1 for every relationship and to the declared rank 2 for critical ones. Unfolding “rank 3 and beyond” and preparing the DORA register of information submission file are options. The supplier’s identity and the evidence common to both agents are reused: they are not collected twice, and they are not billed twice.

Controls and safeguards These 5 controls are built into the agent: they frame what it does, whatever plan you pick. They are not chosen and are not added to your order.
Human validation, exceptions and escalation Status, safe closure and audit trail Keep the evidence, the actor and the timestamp of every transition Refuse by default any sensitive action without an authorised owner Strictly separate tenants, entities and environments
Add-on

Extend this agent's capabilities

These capabilities are layered onto the SAME agent, not another one. They are billed per grid tier, not at the price of an agent.

Subcontracting at tier 3 and beyond

Extends the unfolding of the subcontracting chain beyond tier 2: mapping of tier 3 and further tiers, concentration measured across that whole chain, and exit plans that take it into account. Anything not named stays recorded as unknown, with the question asked and its date. Option chosen in the checkout, set-up then monthly.

Demonstration

See the agent at work

5 everyday situations, taken from those that come up most often. Pick one: the exchange unfolds as it would in your organisation.

A scripted demonstration. These exchanges show how the agent behaves — its sources, its refusals, what it leaves to your teams. Nothing is sent from this page, no model is queried here, and the matters named are fictional. That is precisely what we promise your data. The behaviours shown here — monitoring, automation rules, routing and reminders — are configured with you during deployment, from your tools, your rules and your thresholds. The architecture points named in these exchanges — location, local execution, isolation, encryption, role-based access, logging — are not a guarantee attached to the demonstration: they are those of the architecture set out in your quotation, and verified before commissioning.

Third-party cyber risk agent

Fictional simulation — not a client result

Your third-party portfolio is registered, and here is what sums it up: 61 providers, 23 with no critical-function qualification; no exit plan tested to date.
Registering, here, means linking each supplier to the SERVICE it provides and to the FUNCTION that service supports. Without that link no criticality can be computed — and that link was missing everywhere.
The first file I put on the table: The valuation desk, a critical and hardly substitutable function.
· State opened: assessment in preparation, priority P2, on the fact “criticité et substituabilité visibles”.
· 10 of 12 controls are not compliant, and I tell you which and why, one by one.
· 0 unknown factor(s) — displayed confidence drops to 100%, and the score does not rise by a single point for it.
What I propose: I show you how this ranking recomputes from your own data, factor by factor, with no opaque score in between. parc-recense_relations-et-services.pdf4 business objects linked, each to its owner
⛓ Sourced · supplier register, contract vault, directory
What does this ranking rest on? We have seen scores nobody could explain.
On six separately scored dimensions, each with its weight: criticality of the service supported, freshness and scope of evidence, access and data entrusted, chain and concentration, clauses and audit rights, continuity and exit.
For this file the fact retained is “criticité et substituabilité visibles”, and it comes from your inputs, not from an opinion: criticalFunction = yes, substitutability = low, evidenceFresh = yes.
The score is kept before AND after the supplier’s rebuttal. It never has the last word: it opens a review. The operational risk officer arbitrates; the managing director approves any acceptance.
And the next step, if you want it: I run the same reading across the whole portfolio and hand you the ordered list, each line with its factors and its date. fiche-relation_facteurs-visibles.pdf6 dimensions, their weights, their factors and the confidence
✎ Framework · the score opens a review, it decides nothing
And what did you draw on to build all of this?
On the eleven modules of the core, and they work together on every file:
· Third-party and service register — Records the supplier, group, service, contract, sub-processors, countries, data, access, owners, dates and relationship status.
· Business criticality and data — Links the service to the functions it supports, target recovery times, volumes, data categories, privileges and substitutability.
· Adaptive questionnaires — Selects questions by criticality and applicable framework, reuses answers still in date, asks for justification and tracks non-responses.
· Evidence collection and checking — Checks period, scope, issuer, signature, qualifications, exceptions, corrective plans and the consistency of the attestations provided.
· Exposure and authorised vulnerability review — Aggregates security advisories, public incidents and the expressly authorised surface, with no intrusive testing and no unproven attribution.
· Risk scenarios — Structures feared events, sources, paths through the third party, existing measures, severity, likelihood and residual risk.

Context

What does an AI agent bring to supplier assessment?

A relationship that is registered, quantified and dated is arbitrated in minutes; a file scattered between a contract, an attestation and three emails has to be rebuilt from scratch.

! The stake

Assessing a supplier means gathering what can be verified and naming what cannot. That reconciliation work is systematic and lends itself to automation; deciding to accept a risk commits the organisation.

✓ Our answer

Your managers arbitrate across the whole portfolio rather than the suppliers someone remembers to check — and each file arrives already registered, quantified and dated. Every score keeps its factors, before and after the supplier’s rebuttal: your conclusion holds up in front of them, and it corrects itself when they produce the document. Data hosted in France on an isolated resource; the AI model is called at its publisher, except with the Sovereign model option. With the 100% Sovereign package, your audit reports and dependency maps do not leave the organisation.

The decisive point

Audit reports, contracts and dependency maps: sovereignty & separation

The evidence your suppliers entrust to you describes their weaknesses as much as your dependencies: its confidentiality is a security matter in itself.

Local inference

With the 100% Sovereign package, the agent runs on a machine in your organisation: no audit report, contract or dependency map leaves the network.

Hosted in France

Otherwise, with the Agility and Serenity packages, a dedicated, isolated resource hosted in France, under French law: data hosted in France; the AI model is called at its publisher, except with the Sovereign model option.

Strict tenant separation

A report filed by one client is never readable by another, whoever issued the document. Sharing across tenants requires written, traceable permission.

Reduced extraterritorial exposure

For your audit reports and dependency maps, the architecture aims to reduce exposure to extraterritorial laws; location alone does not by itself guarantee immunity.

Named human gates

Accepting a risk, starting an exit, escalating an incident: three states only an authorised manager can open, with reason and timestamp.

Tamper-evident log

Every transition carries its evidence, actor and timestamp; refusals are logged just as passages are.

What depends on the architecture chosen These points are not general guarantees: they are settled deployment by deployment, in the quotation.

  • The applicable location is that of the architecture set out in the quotation and verified before commissioning.
  • Local execution is announced only for the configuration explicitly described and accepted in the quotation.
  • The applicable isolation depends on the deployment mode set out in the quotation; no dedicated isolation is presumed.
  • The events logged, their content, their retention period and who may access them are defined for the deployment chosen.
For supplier audit reports and dependency maps, SecNumCloud and hardened hosting options are available to match your requirement level. A single architecture is designed to address both the GDPR and extraterritorial exposure.
The gain

How many relationships can a team review?

By taking on registration, evidence reconciliation and file assembly, the effort moves to arbitration. The size of the gain depends on your portfolio and remains to be confirmed by a pilot.

Our commitment

Four guarantees that matter here

With 100% Sovereign, your supplier evidence stays with youData hosted in France on an isolated resource; the AI model is called at its publisher, except with the Sovereign model option. With that option, no report entrusted to a third party, no data used to train a model.
The decision returns to your managerThe score opens a review; it never selects, suspends or terminates. The file arrives complete, quantified and reasoned: signing takes minutes.
An unknown stays an unknownData that is missing, out of date or unreachable is never counted as a pass. It lowers the confidence shown; it does not raise the score.
No testing without a mandateActive testing on a third party’s system requires a contractual basis, a written scope and an agreed window. Without those three, the authorisation request is prepared and the review continues by permitted methods.
Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

Which regulatory framework governs the assessment of your ICT providers?
If your institution falls under DORA, the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act, applicable since 17 January 2025, you must keep a register of information on your contracts with ICT providers and submit it every year to your supervisor. The agent lists your providers, identifies those supporting critical or important functions, maps their subcontracting chain and checks their security evidence against scope and period. As an option, it prepares the register submission file. Whether DORA applies depends on your regulated status, not on your activity code: we check it with you at kick-off. UCITS management companies and AIF managers are covered, except managers below the thresholds of the AIFM Directive.
Does the agent certify that a supplier is safe?
It does something better: it lets you decide on documents. Criticality of the service supported, dated evidence matched against its scope, the subcontracting chain unfolded, concentration measured across the aggregate — each with its source and its date. No third party can certify a supplier on your behalf; what you get here is the file that makes your decision defensible, and it stays signed by you.
How does it check a certification or audit report?
It reads the issuer, the period, the scope covered, the statement of applicability and the qualifications. A certification only covers what it names: if the service under review falls outside its scope, the agent says so and opens an evidence review rather than concluding.
Can it scan a supplier without their agreement?
The analysis is non-intrusive and stays within the scope you authorise: nothing that exposes your supplier relationship or puts you in an awkward position. If you want to go as far as active testing, the agent prepares the mandate — contractual basis, written scope, agreed window — and the review moves forward without waiting for it.
How does it handle fourth-party suppliers?
It requests the named list from the supplier and reconciles it with observed flows and onward-subcontracting clauses. Anything not named is recorded as unknown, with the question asked and the date: an incomplete chain is a fact in the file, never a silence.
How does it compute criticality and concentration?
Criticality comes from the functions supported, the data, the access, the dependency and the substitutability — every factor is kept, never merged into an opaque score. Concentration is measured on the aggregate of services: taken one by one each looks replaceable; taken together they are not.
Can the score automatically block a purchase?
The score opens a review, it does not close a door: you keep control of selection, with the file already prepared. That is what makes it usable in procurement — an automatic block gets contested, a reasoned opinion holds. The authorised manager decides in minutes rather than in committee.
How does it track remediation and its evidence?
Each gap becomes a measure with an owner, a deadline and the expected evidence named in advance. The measure closes when that evidence is RECEIVED and validated, not when it is promised: remediation closed without a document stays open in the file.
How does it prepare an exit plan that can actually be tested?
It assembles the alternatives, the extraction format, the transition sequence, the access revocation, the expected deletion and the success criterion for the exercise. A plan that is written but never tested is a hypothesis: the agent says so, and prepares the exercise that would make it credible.
What drives the price of keeping the register, and how far is the chain unfolded?
Three quantities, and they are stated up front. The NUMBER OF CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS covering digital services, the NUMBER OF THOSE SUPPORTING A CRITICAL OR IMPORTANT FUNCTION, and the DEPTH OF CHAIN to unfold. You declare the first two when ordering; the third is discovered while working, because nobody knows the rank of their subcontractors before asking. An UNFOLDING CEILING is therefore set in the contract: beyond it the agent stops, tells you what remains and you decide whether to go on. These three quantities are what drives your price: the first two, declared when ordering, set your tier; the third is capped in the contract, and the “rank 3 and beyond” option extends it when you decide to.
