Vendor Stack Auditor
An AI compliance tool that ingests a third-party SaaS vendor's public documentation, security pages, and architecture signals, then produces a risk-scored architecture brief for procurement and security review teams.
enterprise procurement and vendor-risk officers evaluating third-party software
- Vendor doc and security-page ingestion with auto-extracted architecture summary
- Risk scoring mapped to common frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, vendor questionnaires)
- Red-flag callouts for known patterns (e.g. AI model dependency, single-region hosting, sub-processor sprawl)
- Side-by-side comparison view across multiple vendors in a procurement cycle
Procurement teams are drowning in AI-vendor pitches and need faster architecture-level due diligence without hiring more security reviewers.
