Third-party risk, done properly

VendRisk360 is an independent software company, and its SaaS platform does one thing: helps regulated organizations understand and manage the risk that comes from their vendors, suppliers and service providers, and prove it to the people they answer to. We built it because we needed it ourselves.

Our story

Built by people who lived the problem

Before VendRisk360, we were the people on the other side of the table. We chased vendors for evidence over email, read SOC reports late into the night before an exam, rebuilt the vendor list every time someone asked for it, and explained to a board why we had learned about a supplier’s breach from the news.

We tried the tools that existed. Most were built around a questionnaire, not around the decision a risk team actually has to make. So we built the platform we wished we had had: one record per vendor, evidence instead of checkboxes, monitoring between reviews, and reporting that answers the questions leaders really ask.

What we facedWhat we built instead
  • A vendor spreadsheet nobody trusted, rebuilt before every examOne governed record per vendor, from intake to exit
  • Questionnaires that proved a vendor could fill in a formAssessments built on evidence, scaled to each vendor’s tier
  • Hearing about a vendor’s breach from the newsConfirmed alerts on the vendor, between assessments
  • A board pack assembled by hand every quarterBoard and executive reporting from the same live records
Who designed the foundation

Five disciplines, one shared purpose

VendRisk360 was designed by CISOs, risk experts, a technical risk team, architects and product designers, with decades of experience across security, risk, audit, architecture and design. Each of us had faced these challenges in our own work, and each shaped a different part of the platform.

CISOs and security leaders

What we faced

Answered to boards and regulators for vendors they did not control.

What we shaped

What the board view, the sign-off and the audit trail must prove.

Risk and compliance experts

What we faced

Ran third-party programs under examiner scrutiny across regions.

What we shaped

The lifecycle, tiering and evidence standards regulators expect.

Technical risk team

What we faced

Reviewed SOC reports, penetration tests and vendor controls by hand.

What we shaped

The assessment workspace, findings and the outside-in checks.

Architects

What we faced

Designed and reviewed the systems and integrations vendors plug into.

What we shaped

Tenant isolation, security by design and one record behind everything.

Product designers

What we faced

Watched good programs stall on tools nobody wanted to use.

What we shaped

Flows that analysts, approvers and vendors actually finish.

Who we serve

Built for the most scrutinized programs

Banks, credit unions, payment providers, health plans and technology companies all depend on third parties they do not control, and all answer to someone for that dependence.

Third-party risk used to mean a spreadsheet of vendors and a questionnaire sent once a year. Today, regulators expect oversight scaled to criticality, visibility into fourth parties and concentration, tested exit plans and reporting boards can act on. Customers expect the same of their own suppliers.

VendRisk360 is for the teams carrying that expectation: heads of vendor management, CROs and CISOs, compliance officers and internal auditors. The platform brings the vendor lifecycle, risk-tiered assessments, continuous monitoring, nth-party intelligence and board reporting into one record per vendor, combining inside-out, evidence-based assessments with outside-in continuous monitoring. Customers run it themselves, or let our experts run it for them, and people make every decision.

VendRisk360 is independent. We own our platform, our infrastructure and our roadmap, and our only business is third-party risk.

What we believe

Three principles behind the product

Evidence over checkboxes

A questionnaire answer is a claim. A SOC report exception, a penetration test finding or a lapsed certificate is evidence. We build assessments on artifacts, map them to controls and show where every conclusion came from.

AI with accountability

AI is optional, and customers choose whether to use it. Where they opt in, it helps with completeness checks and key-date extraction on vendor evidence and with a first pass on SOC reports that the expert verifies. Every review, rating and sign-off is made by a named person, and the decision stays in the audit trail.

Reporting leaders can act on

Boards and executives do not need more data. They need to know where they are exposed, what changed and what decision is being asked of them. Our reporting starts from those questions.

Industries

The industries we serve

Each answers to different regulators and uses different words for the same discipline. The platform speaks each of their languages.
