Contact UsHow is the platform deployed and licensed?
⌄
Crest TPRM is offered as a modular, multi-tenant SaaS platform, with flexible licensing based on TPRM modules and vendor usage. Organisations can start with core TPRM capabilities and scale as needed — without committing to unused modules upfront.

Can we deploy Crest TPRM on our own infrastructure?
⌄
Yes. Crest TPRM supports three deployment models to fit your infrastructure strategy:
☁ SaaS (Cloud) — Hosted on a secure AWS-based Privacy Cloud with multi-tenant isolation, automatic updates, and 99.9% uptime SLA. Ideal for fast deployment and minimal IT overhead.
🏠 On-Premise — Full on-site deployment within your own data centre for organisations with strict data residency, air-gap, or sovereign cloud requirements.
⚙ Hybrid — A split model where the core platform and processing engine run on-premise while non-sensitive capabilities (monitoring feeds, alerts, dashboards) run on SaaS infrastructure. Best for enterprises that need data sovereignty without sacrificing real-time intelligence.

How is access controlled for internal teams and vendors?
⌄
The platform offers role-based access control, granular permissions, and tiered access for internal users, external vendors, and reviewers — ensuring strong segregation of duties across the entire TPRM lifecycle.

Is the platform audit-ready and compliant with security standards?
⌄
Yes. Crest is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 ready. The platform includes audit-ready access logs, session tracking, end-to-end data encryption, and role-based access controls — making it inspection-ready for audits, regulators, and enterprise security reviews.
