Add a vendor relationship and the Instant Assessment runs automatically – no setup delays

Day-one coverage, no questionnaires

Assess your entire vendor portfolio instantly, without waiting on forms

All signals, one view

Delivered in Every Assessment

Instant Assessments feature consolidates all available signals into a single, defensible risk view. Generated automatically when a vendor relationship is added, each assessment analyzes public intelligence (OSINT), vendor-provided artifacts (e.g., SOC 2, ISO, HIPAA), and optional external scores. Results appear in a standardized format, are explainable at a glance, and can be shared or refreshed as needed.

Vendor context & inherent risk prediction

Shows anticipated use case, data sensitivity, and business criticality

Attestations-of-compliance detection

Flags claims like SOC 2/ISO and estimates control coverage

Questions about AI-powered third-party vendor risk assessments

Ideally, third-party risk assessments should run at onboarding and then recertify at regular intervals (annually or semiannually), supplemented by continuous vendor monitoring for changes between cycles.

Use a vendor risk assessment tool that combines public intelligence, vendor security assessment questionnaires, and automated artifact collection to produce evidence-backed, auditable results.

Common categories include security risk assessments, compliance/privacy risk assessments, operational risk assessments, and reputational/financial risk assessments — all of which can be automated with third-party risk assessment software.

Yes. You can select from our 30+ supported frameworks or use your own control sets and questionnaires.

We support 30+ frameworks including:
Security: NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2
Privacy: GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA
Risk: SIG, CAIQ, custom control sets
You can bring your own, choose predefined ones, or mix and match across categories. Custom questionnaires and requirements are fully supported.

The platform automatically follows up with the vendor and escalates the issue if needed. You’ll still receive an initial assessment, and if you need more information you can escalate further, request artifacts, or trigger a reassessment when ready.

Yes. Instant assessments can run via API, inside VISO TRUST, or from integrations like Slack, Netskope, Coupa, and Vertice.
