Manage the vendor lifecycle. Assess comprehensive risk. Monitor continuously. One SaaS platform with 360° coverage and managed assessments built in, so you can run the full program without adding headcount.
Aligned to regulators and
standards worldwide
A point-in-time assessment tells you how a vendor looked on the day it was reviewed. VendRisk360 pairs evidence-based review of the vendor's controls with continuous monitoring of what the outside world can see, so risk that changes between assessments does not go unnoticed.
Inside-out
Outside-in
Most programs still run on questionnaires, inboxes and a review that is out of date the day it is signed. Here is what changes, line by line.
The usual way
Spreadsheets and point-in-time reviews
With VendRisk360
One platform for the whole lifecycle
Vendor inventory
Spreadsheets, inboxes and shared drives, each with a different version of the truth
One record per vendor, product and relationship, with owner, tier and full history
Depth of review
The same long questionnaire for every vendor, whatever the risk
Criticality tiering decides the depth, so critical vendors get full due diligence and low-risk ones do not
Evidence
Self-attested answers accepted at face value; expired reports go unnoticed
Answers checked against evidence, with SOC reports and certificates tracked for scope and expiry
Between assessments
A point-in-time snapshot that is out of date the day after sign-off
Continuous outside-in monitoring of attack surface, breaches, adverse news and regulatory actions
Fourth parties
Invisible until one of them causes an incident
Nth-party intelligence maps who your vendors depend on and where concentration risk sits
Vendor experience
Email chains, attachments and repeated chasing
A secure vendor portal for questionnaires, documents and remediation, with reminders built in
Decisions and audit
Approvals and risk acceptances scattered across email; audits mean weeks of reconstruction
Policy-based sign-off, risk acceptance with owners and expiry dates, and a complete audit trail
Reporting
Board packs assembled by hand each quarter
Board and executive reporting generated from live data, ready for examiners
AI
Either no automation, or black-box scores nobody can explain
Optional AI that drafts and extracts, while your people review and make every decision
Every vendor assessed, monitored and governed on one SaaS platform, so the business can say yes to new vendors with confidence.

Regulatory and industry frameworks mapped to your controls

Continuous monitoring of attack surface, breaches and financial distress
From intake to offboarding, every vendor, supplier and outsourcing arrangement gets one record, one risk rating and one audit trail, with assessments, monitoring and reporting working from the same data.
Your team manages every vendor, sends due diligence requests, reviews, records and signs off, with every step tracked.
Turn it on and the work is done for you on the platform: evidence collected through the vendor portal, the risk assessed by certified reviewers and findings followed up, on your records.
Outside-in coverage between assessments, with signals confirmed before they reach your team.
Every vendor lives on one list with a workspace for each part of its life: Onboarding, Ongoing, Offboarding and Closed. Each team works its own queue, targets by criticality show what is running late, and every step lands on the same record.
New vendor requests from the business are tiered by the criticality questionnaire, go through due diligence, and end in an accept or reject decision with its record. Each tier has an onboarding target, so the team sees what is running late.

Illustrative example
Onboarding, due diligence, monitoring, reassessment and offboarding share one record, so nothing is re-keyed and every decision has its evidence behind it. Step through the stages.
The business owner requests a vendor in a guided intake. Answers about data, access and criticality set the tier, so the depth of review is decided before anyone sends a questionnaire.

Tiers, evidence, sign-off and cadence follow your own policy. How tiers work
Run third-party risk yourself on the Vendor Lifecycle Management Platform, or turn on Managed Vendor Risk Assessments: you onboard the vendor, and the assessment is completed for you on the same records, without adding headcount.
Your team manages vendors, requests evidence, performs and records the review, and signs off. Every step is tracked.
You onboard the vendor; the platform and VendRisk360’s certified reviewers do the rest, with near real-time progress for every vendor.

Managed assessments and reviews by certified, experienced reviewers
Directors want to know where the organization is exposed, what changed since the last meeting and what they are being asked to decide. VendRisk360 answers from live data, in the format a board reads, and every number traces back to the vendor record behind it.
Board and committee packs
Nine ready-made decks, from the monthly board report to exam readiness.
Executive command view
Residual risk trend, heat map, concentration and decisions needed.
PDF and editable PowerPoint
One click, in a consistent professional format.
Traceable to the record
Every figure links to the vendor, evidence and approval behind it.
AI is a choice, not a dependency. If you opt in, it assists in two places only. Every review, rating and sign-off is done by an expert assessor or by your own reviewers.
Example: optional AI-assisted completeness check and key-date extraction, verified by an assessor.
Three moments that used to take weeks of email and spreadsheets, and now take minutes.
Between assessments, VendRisk360 watches each vendor from the outside. When something changes, you see what changed, which vendor and service it affects, who owns the relationship and what to do next.

VendRisk360 is an AI-assisted third-party risk management (TPRM) SaaS platform for regulated organizations. It keeps one governed record per vendor from intake to exit, assesses each vendor on evidence scaled to its risk tier, monitors vendors continuously from the outside (attack surface, data breaches, financial distress and adverse news), maps fourth and nth parties, and produces board-ready reporting. Teams run their program on the platform themselves, or turn on managed assessments and monitoring, delivered on the platform by VendRisk360’s certified reviewers. People make every decision.
Outside-in signals from sources the vendor does not control: its attack surface and shadow infrastructure, indicators of compromise, disclosed data breaches, bankruptcy and insolvency events, adverse news, regulatory actions and sanctions. Each signal is confirmed before it alerts and is recorded on the vendor.
No. AI is optional, and customers choose whether to use it. Where they opt in, it helps with evidence completeness checks, key-date extraction and a first pass on SOC reports that an expert verifies. Every rating, finding and sign-off is made by a named person.
The platform maps to third-party and outsourcing rules worldwide, including the US Interagency Guidance on Third-Party Relationships (OCC 2023-17), NCUA, DORA, the EBA Outsourcing Guidelines, PRA SS2/21, APRA CPS 230, RBI, MAS and SAMA, and to standards such as NIST CSF 2.0, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS. It is aligned to them; your compliance obligations stay yours.
