Vendor Risk Agent

Description

You probably use hundreds of vendors. Each one introduces risk. This agent handles the full vendor security lifecycle. It sends questionnaires, parses security documents, and monitors external security ratings. You get a clear go/no-go decision fast, without reading a hundred pages of attestations.

How it works

When someone requests a new vendor, the agent picks the right questionnaire based on data sensitivity. It uses NLP to read SOC 2 reports and responses, catching inconsistencies (vendor claims encryption but the report says otherwise). It also pulls external ratings to check for active infections or weak email security. Everything rolls up into a composite risk score your team can act on.

Key Features

Document parsing: AI extracts key findings from SOC 2, ISO, and pentest reports.

Fourth-party mapping: Visualizes who your vendors depend on.
