Vendor risk management for technology
VISO TRUST gives software, cloud, and digital-native companies an AI-driven TPRM platform to continuously assess, monitor, and report on vendor risk across their supply chain, without slowing product delivery or hiring a huge risk team.
Why third-party risk looks different in technology
Most of your code isnât âyourâ code
Modern apps are assembled from thousands of open-source libraries, APIs, and third-party services. That ecosystem is now part of your threat surface and your customers expect you to own it.
Supply-chain attacks are the new normal
From dependency hijacking to CI/CD pipeline exploits, software-supply-chain attacks are now a leading vector for breaches in technology companies.
Incidents travel downstream fast
A vulnerable NPM package, compromised build tool, or cloud misconfiguration can impact thousands of tenants instantly – damaging trust, uptime, and brand equity.
TPRM canât keep up with DevOps
Manual questionnaires and spreadsheets donât scale with CI/CD and agile release cycles. The result: blind spots, backlog, and compliance debt that grows faster than your product roadmap.
The New Reality: Continuous Oversight
Engineering, product, and go-to-market all depend on third parties.
Cloud infrastructure, code repos, CI/CD tools, observability platforms, communications APIs, identity systems, and data-enrichment partners sit across your production and corporate stack. And your software itself depends on thousands of open-source maintainers youâll never meet.
Customers and regulators no longer distinguish between your risk and your vendorsâ risk.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, NIS2, SEC cybersecurity rules, and software-supply-chain guidance all now require continuous visibility into vendor and dependency posture.
But most TPRM programs in tech havenât caught up. Security and GRC teams are lean. Procurement is decentralized. Vendor reviews are ad hoc. Continuous monitoring of cloud or OSS components is rare.
VISO TRUST changes that – bringing an AI-native approach to third-party and supply-chain risk that moves at the speed of your engineering org.
Regulatory & framework coverage for technology
Tech companies must prove that their vendors and dependencies meet the same standards they certify internally.
VISO TRUST maps evidence and assessments directly to the frameworks and expectations your customers and auditors demand.
Security & control frameworks
AICPA SOC (especially SOC 2 for SaaS and cloud providers)
ISO 27001 / 27002
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
NIST SP 800-53 and 800-30
Cloud & software assurance
CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM)
CSA CAIQ
ISO/IEC 27017 (cloud security)
Privacy & data protection
GLBA
EU GDPR
CCPA and related privacy statutes
VISO TRUST automatically maps vendor artifacts – SOC 2s, ISO certs, pen tests, SBOMs, policies, and security attestations – across these frameworks to prove consistent, defensible coverage of your entire SaaS and cloud stack.
The continuous TPRM loop for healthcare
TPRM in insurance isnât a one-time vendor check; itâs a continuous loop across the full lifecycle.
VISO TRUST operationalizes that loop with AI so lean teams can keep up.
Without VISO TRUST vs. With VISO TRUST
| Without VISO TRUST | With VISO TRUST | |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor data | Fragmented across engineering, IT, and finance | Centralized, continuously updated vendor inventory |
| Evidence collection | Manual chases via email or tickets | AI Agent automates collection, renewals, and reminders |
| Assessments | Point-in-time, inconsistent | Instant Assessments mapped to frameworks and rationale |
| Monitoring | Reactive or absent | Continuous breach/news/OSS monitoring with Impact Reports |
| Audit prep | Weeks of gathering reports and reconciling scores | Smart Summaries ready for audits, boards, or RFPs |
| Team capacity | Lean team trading speed for depth | Full coverage without adding headcount |
Use cases for insurance
Audit Readiness
Demonstrate continuous oversight across your SaaS supply chain. Centralize artifacts, assessments, and reporting aligned to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and NIS2.
Automated Vendor Evidence Collection
Collect and refresh SOC 2s, ISO certs, pen tests, DPAs, and SBOMs automatically by vendor tier. No more inbox chases or expired documentation surprises.
Continuous Vendor & OSS Monitoring
Monitor breach disclosures, open-source vulnerabilities, and third-party advisories in real time. See which products, tenants, or features are affected – instantly.
Lean Team Enablement
Enable small security or GRC teams to govern hundreds of vendors efficiently, focusing on exceptions and risk decisions rather than admin work.
Evidence-First Assessments
Flip from generic questionnaires to artifact-first validation. Parse and map vendor evidence to frameworks automatically, with concise follow-ups for gaps.
Vendor Onboarding
Speed up reviews for new SaaS tools or cloud providers. Create relationships, run Instant Assessments, and get framework-mapped risk in minutes – keeping innovation on track.
Value for every team that owns thirdâparty risk
CISOs and Heads of Security
End-to-end visibility into third- and fourth-party exposure across cloud, SaaS, SDLC, and production environments
Explainable AI Risk Assessments and Smart Summaries you can take directly to the board, security council, or major customers
Confidence that continuous monitoring of key vendors, OSS components, and advisories is running in the background
TPRM / Vendor Risk Leaders
A single system of record for vendor relationships, evidence, risk scores, exceptions, and remediation
The VISO TRUST AI Agent eliminates manual vendor chase and renewals; your team focuses on governance and high-risk decisions
Standardized workflows and reporting that align with SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, supply-chain expectations, and customer requirements
For Privacy, Legal, and Compliance
Live mapping of vendor evidence to GDPR, CCPA, DPAs, and security frameworks, ready to export for deals, audits, or regulator inquiries
Immutable audit trails showing who approved which vendors, under what conditions, and based on what evidence
Ability to answer âHow do you manage vendor risk?â with concrete dashboards, documents, and control maps instead of narrative only
For Engineering, Platform, and Product
Faster, clearer answers to âCan we use this tool or provider?â with risk-based decisions that donât stall sprints
Transparency into which services and components underpin critical features, and how those
Confidence that security, compliance, and customer expectations are being met without blocking innovation and release velocity
For Procurement, Finance, and Vendor Management
Integrated intake and risk steps so security and privacy happen as part of procurement, not after contracts are signed
Clear, consistent risk summaries to inform negotiation, renewal, and consolidation decisions
Better vendor experience through concise, evidence-based requests instead of bespoke questionnaires for every contract cycle
Integration-ready
Streamline and automate complex workflows and decision-making across your entire enterprise stack â seamlessly integrating with tools like Jira, Coupa, ServiceNow, Archer, Slack, Okta, and thousands more.
