AI-Driven Risk Assessments for Third-Party Vendors
Stop relying on static vendor security questionnaires. With AI-powered third-party risk assessments, you’ll spot blind spots early and protect your business proactively.
THE CHALLENGE
Traditional Vendor Risk Assessment Limitations
Too Manual, Too Slow
Most teams tell us the same thing: vendor questionnaires are a headache. They’re manual, time-consuming, and often require chasing vendors just to get answers. Even then, the responses are self-reported and hard to fully trust. For large enterprises, this eats up more than 15,000 hours a year—only to produce data that’s already going stale.
Stuck in “Point-in-Time”
Traditional assessments only give you a snapshot. Risks don’t wait for your annual or quarterly review, and new requirements—like AI or emerging regulations—can’t be pushed out overnight to hundreds of vendors. That means months of blind spots where risks quietly build.
Inconsistent and Subjective Scoring
Without a consistent framework, ratings vary from team to team. What one group calls “high risk,” another might label “medium.” The result is inconsistent scoring, harder decisions, and no clear way to compare vendors or prioritize fixes.
Rising Compliance Pressure
SOX, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2—regulations keep multiplying. Managing all of this manually across thousands of vendors isn’t just inefficient, it’s risky. One missed control or outdated report can quickly turn into an audit problem.
THE SOLUTION
VISO TRUST is the Smarter Way to Tackle Third-Party Risk
Traditional vendor risk assessments are slow, painful, and don’t actually protect you. By the time you’ve finished chasing down questionnaires, the data is already stale.
VISO TRUST takes a different approach. We integrate with your procurement and other IT tools to give you a clear, real-time picture of your vendor ecosystem, so you always know where the risks are and how to act on them.

Instead of getting buried in spreadsheets and static reports, you get instant, consistent, and defensible insights that let you manage third-party risk with confidence.
What Makes VISO TRUST Different
Instant Assessments, Not Eventual
Stop waiting weeks for vendor security questionnaires to trickle in.
- Deliver a real-time verdict on vendor risk in under 60 seconds using open-source intelligence
- Identify high-risk vendors before questionnaires even start
- Cut vendor evaluation cycles by 90% compared to manual reviews
Evidence, Not Estimates
Most tools give you black-box scores. We give you proof. With VISO TRUST, every risk decision is backed by real evidence, not assumptions.
The result? Every score is traceable, audit-ready, and defensible. No more subjective ratings or second-guessing in front of auditors.
Fully Automated Workflows
Vendor risk shouldn’t depend on spreadsheets and follow-ups. VISO TRUST automates the entire process—from collecting evidence to validating it against your requirements—so you don’t waste time chasing vendors or reconciling data by hand.
- Guided, branded workflows make it simple for vendors to share evidence (and reuse it across assessments).
- Automation handles the busywork—collecting, validating, scoring, and mapping everything to your chosen frameworks.
- You only step in when it matters—reviewing exceptions, high-risk findings, or gaps.
This means faster cycles, fewer bottlenecks, and a complete audit trail without the manual grind.

Traceable
Traceable, Audit-Ready Evidence
Boards, auditors, and security leaders can see exactly why a vendor was rated a certain way. Every control is backed by verifiable evidence (e.g., a direct quote from a SOC 2 report), not assumptions or black-box scoring.
Automated
Manual Effort vs. Scalable Automation
Traditional processes buckle under vendor volume. VISO Trust automates collection, validation, and reporting, enabling enterprises to manage thousands of vendors with the same team—while producing “wow-factor” reports executives trust.
