Touch 1: Personalized Cold Outreach Email **Subject:** `quick question re: eu vendor audits` Hi [First Name], Noticed [Company Name]’s recent expansion into the EU—congrats on the footprint growth. Most CISOs scaling cross-border tell us the hardest part is the sudden flood of manual third-party vendor risk assessments holding up procurement cycles. We built an automated risk orchestration engine that takes vendor security reviews down from 3 weeks to under 48 hours. ScalePay used it to cut audit prep time by 65% while passing SOC 2 Type II without hiring extra compliance headcount. Open to seeing a 2-page tear sheet breaking down how they streamlined the workflow? Best, [Your Name] --- ### 3. Touch 2: Value-Add Follow-Up Email (Day 3) **Subject:** `Re: quick question re: eu vendor audits` Hi [First Name], Wanted to follow up with a quick data point that might be relevant: When fintech security teams manage vendor reviews across spreadsheets, an average of 42 engineering hours are lost per quarter just verifying SOC 2 bridge letters and SOC reports. Our platform eliminates that friction by continuously validating vendor security controls in real time. Worth a brief look at the 2-page benchmark sheet, or is cross-border vendor risk not a focus this quarter? Best, [Your Name] --- ### 4. Touch 3: High-Converting Breakup Email (Day 7) **Subject:** `permission to close your file?` Hi [First Name], I haven’t heard back, so I assume automating vendor security audits isn't a top priority for [Company Name] right now. I'll step back and close your file so I don't clutter your inbox. If you ever want to see how other mid-market fintechs cut compliance audit lag by 65%, feel free to reach out anytime. Best of luck with the EU rollout. Best, [Your Name]
