Fourth Parties represent the services and providers your vendors depend on to deliver their products or services.

DSALTA automatically identifies and maps fourth parties based on vendor relationships. This gives you visibility into indirect risk that may impact your organization, even when you don’t work with those providers directly.

The Fourth Parties view groups these providers by category and tier, and shows how many of your vendors rely on each one. This helps you quickly spot shared dependencies and potential concentration risk.

You can review fourth parties to understand where indirect exposure exists and decide whether additional monitoring or follow-up is needed—especially for critical or widely used services.
