AIVendor.Risk

A governance dashboard for CISOs and AI risk officers that ingests official cyber-capability evaluations (UK AISI, CAISI, NIST) plus red-team reports and turns them into a normalized risk score for every AI model and vendor in your stack.

Target user

CISOs, AI governance leads, and procurement teams at mid-to-large enterprises evaluating which LLMs and AI agents to deploy

Features
  • Normalized 0-100 risk score per model covering cyber exploit capability, jailbreak resistance, and safeguard strength, sourced from official evaluations
  • Vendor watchlist alerts when a new evaluation (e.g. CAISI Kimi K3 release) drops and shifts a vendor's score
  • Procurement-ready PDF reports that map model risk to your existing AI policy and flag models that fail your threshold
  • Audit log of every model your organization uses, with last-evaluation date and known capability gaps
Why now

Reports like the CAISI Kimi K3 assessment are landing every few weeks now that frontier labs ship faster than security teams can review them; nobody has built the layer that turns these technical PDFs into a procurement-grade score.

Enterprise governance tools sell to CISOs at $20k–$100k+/yr with EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF deadlines creating compliance urgency; PwC has built a dedicated responsible-AI-TPRM practice signaling willingness to pay.Responsible AI and third-party risk management: PwCCredo AI vs Holistic AI (2026): Pricing & Features

Longevity
8/10

Regulatory durability is strong: UK AISI publishes periodic capability evaluations (May update covers five LLMs), EU AI Act is phasing in through 2026, and NIST AI RMF is the de facto US framework — a multi-year compliance wave.Advanced AI evaluations at AISI: May updateUK AI Safety Institute Framework

Feasibility
5/10

Ingesting public AISI/CAISI/NIST PDFs is straightforward, but the hard part — normalizing heterogeneous red-team reports into a trusted score and selling into security/procurement orgs with SOC 2, SSO, and integrations — is moderate-to-hard build for a small team.AI Security Institute (AISI)
