Automate Third-Party and Vendor Risk Management

Replace inconsistent point-in-time vendor assessments, manual contract risk reviews, and periodic monitoring that goes stale between cycles with a continuous vendor risk workflow that keeps due diligence current, contract obligations visible, and risk ratings ready for committee decision.

Vendor Due Diligence

Runs structured due diligence on new and existing vendors by collecting and reviewing the documentation required by the institution's third-party risk program, financial health indicators, SOC reports, regulatory standing, cybersecurity posture, business continuity documentation, and relevant certifications. Diligence findings are assembled into a structured assessment for the risk committee or owner review, with the agent producing the analysis and the human owner making the acceptance decision.

Runs vendor due diligence across financial health, security posture, and regulatory standing

Assembles diligence findings into structured assessments for risk owner review

Scales due diligence depth to vendor criticality tier, more thorough for higher-risk relationships

Contract & Obligation Risk Assessment

Reviews vendor contracts and service agreements for the obligation and risk provisions that third-party risk programs are required to address, data security requirements, business continuity obligations, right-to-audit clauses, subcontractor restrictions, incident notification timelines, and regulatory compliance representations. Contract gaps and missing provisions are flagged for legal and risk review before the relationship moves forward, rather than being discovered during an examination or after an incident.

Assesses contract and obligation risk against configurable third-party risk program requirements

Flags missing provisions including right-to-audit, incident notification, and BCP obligations

Produces structured contract risk findings for legal and risk owner review before execution

Ongoing Vendor Monitoring

Monitors the institution's vendor portfolio on a continuous basis, tracking adverse media, financial health signals, cybersecurity incident disclosures, regulatory actions, and changes in the vendor's own subcontractor relationships, and escalating material changes to the assigned risk owner for review. Monitoring intensity scales to vendor criticality, ensuring that critical vendors receive more frequent attention while lower-risk relationships are monitored at a cost-appropriate cadence.

Monitors vendors continuously for adverse media, financial changes, and security incidents

Scales monitoring frequency and depth to vendor criticality tier

Recommends risk rating updates for owner decision when material monitoring signals emerge

What Risk and Procurement Teams See in Practice

Consistent

Vendor Due Diligence

Every new vendor assessed against the same structured criteria — regardless of which team member runs the diligence or how busy the procurement pipeline is at the time of onboarding.

No Surprises

Contract Obligation Gaps

Missing right-to-audit clauses, absent incident notification timelines, and inadequate BCP representations identified before the contract is signed — not surfaced for the first time during an examination or a vendor incident.

Current

Vendor Risk Ratings

Risk ratings that reflect the vendor's current status rather than their status at the time of last periodic review — updated when monitoring signals indicate material change, not only at the next scheduled review cycle.
