Third-party risk management
Trust your vendors on evidence, not on a questionnaire.
We tier suppliers by what they can touch, assess the ones that matter and keep watching after signature. Procurement stays fast; risk stays visible.
Security, procurement and compliance teams managing dozens to thousands of suppliers.

Vendor profile
Compare vendors on the risks that matter to you.
Each vendor is scored on the same five domains, AI use included, so procurement can see the trade-off at a glance. Toggle a vendor to bring its profile forward.
- Vendor A
- Vendor B
- Vendor C
| Area | Vendor A | Vendor B | Vendor C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security | 4.5 | 3.0 | 2.0 |
| Privacy | 4.0 | 2.5 | 3.5 |
| Resilience | 3.5 | 4.0 | 2.0 |
| Compliance | 4.5 | 3.0 | 2.5 |
| AI use | 3.0 | 1.5 | 4.0 |

Where AI lands in Vendor Risk.
AI vendors get their own track: model provenance, training on your data, sub-processors, output retention and the provider's own AI governance evidence.
How vendor risk works
Five steps from supplier list to monitored vendors.
- 01
Inventory
Build one list of suppliers from finance, procurement and SSO data, with owners.
Output: Vendor list
- 02
Tier
Rate each vendor on data, access and business criticality so effort matches risk.
Output: Vendor tiers
- 03
Assess
Right-sized questionnaires, report review and, for critical and AI vendors, deeper validation.
Output: Assessment file
- 04
Contract
Security and privacy terms, breach notification and right-to-audit clauses that fit the tier.
Output: Contract clauses
- 05
Monitor
Reassessment on a schedule, external signals between reviews and clean offboarding.
Output: Reassessment schedule

FAQ
Straight answers.
Can you run the program for us?
Yes. We can design it and hand it over, or run assessments and monitoring as an ongoing service.
Do you accept vendors' SOC 2 reports?
Yes, and we read them properly: scope, exceptions, carve-outs and complementary controls you must operate.
How do we handle vendors that won't fill in questionnaires?
Use their public trust materials and external signals, and decide at the right level whether the residual risk is acceptable.
Does this cover DORA's register of information?
Yes. For EU financial entities we structure the inventory to produce the register DORA requires.
