VendorAITrust

Standardized AI-vendor security questionnaire and continuous risk score so procurement teams can sign AI contracts without flying blind.

Target user

enterprise procurement and CISO offices evaluating AI vendor contracts

Features
  • AI-vendor questionnaire mapped to NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 with auto-scoring
  • Automated public probe of vendor models for jailbreaks, PII leakage, and policy drift
  • Continuous monitoring alerts when vendor AI behavior or terms change post-signature
  • Board-ready vendor risk report exportable as PDF and SOC 2 evidence
Why now

The arXiv AI Security Priorities paper flags governance frameworks and procurement assurance as the top unaddressed gaps; enterprise AI spend is exploding but security vetting lags by months.

VRM market hit $12.3B in 2025, projected $39B by 2033 at ~15% CAGR; DORA (Jan 2025), OCC interagency guidance, APRA CPS 230, and NYDFS all mandate AI-era vendor due diligence, with third-party breaches doubling to 30% of incidents.Best Vendor Risk Management Platforms ComparedEnterprise AI Procurement Due Diligence Checklist

Crowded incumbent field: OneTrust, VISO Trust, BitSight (Moody's $250M backing), ProcessUnity (Forrester Wave Leader Q1 2026), Prevalent/Mitratech, plus AI-niche entrants VISO Trust, Cognitive View, Vendorfy AI, Riskify, Tribble — and free AI-vendor questionnaires from GLACIS, Polygraf, LintGRC cannibalize the low end.Best Vendor Risk Management Platforms ComparedCompare VISOTRUST with OneTrust | Features, Competitors, Pricing

Monetization
7/10

Enterprise TPRM pricing benchmarks at $50K+/year; ProcessUnity's Global Risk Exchange (18,000+ vendor assessments) and OneTrust (20M+ cyber insights) demonstrate willingness to pay for continuous risk data at scale.Best Vendor Risk Management Platforms Compared

Longevity
8/10

Regulatory mandates (DORA, OCC, APRA CPS 230, NYDFS) are binding and multi-year; AI-vendor contracts only increase as enterprise AI spend grows, making procurement assurance a structurally durable category.Best Vendor Risk Management Platforms Compared

Feasibility
6/10

Questionnaire + scoring layer is straightforward (free templates already exist publicly — GLACIS, Polygraf, LintGRC, Safeguard.sh); harder parts are continuous monitoring data feeds and integrating into procurement/GRC workflows already owned by incumbents.AI Vendor Due Diligence Checklist 2026 — GLACISEnterprise AI Vendor Security Assessment Questionnaire
