As third-party risk management (TPRM) teams look to reduce manual effort and accelerate assessments, AI-driven platforms like VISO TRUST and Vendict are gaining attention. While both focus on automation, their philosophies and strengths differ in meaningful ways.

VISO TRUST: Security-First Risk Intelligence

VISO TRUST is designed with a strong security orientation. Its core value lies in delivering rapid, evidence-based vendor risk assessments by automatically collecting, validating, and analyzing signals from vendors and external sources. The platform emphasizes continuous visibility, contextual cyber insights, and audit-ready outputs. This makes it particularly attractive to security and GRC teams that want vendor risk to slot directly into broader security operations with minimal friction.

Vendict: Automated TPRM and Compliance Workflows

Vendict focuses on simplifying traditional TPRM processes through AI-powered automation. Its strengths lie in automating security questionnaires, accelerating responses, and streamlining compliance workflows. Vendict also leans into a more collaborative model of vendor engagement, positioning assessments as a way to build trust and reduce back-and-forth rather than purely evaluate risk.
