ThirdSentry vendor risk intelligence concept

Vendor Inherent Risk Scoring

Gain risk visibility and prioritize vendors effectively with AI-driven risk scoring. Focus resources where they matter most and reduce assessment time by up to 60%.

Why Strategic Vendor Risk Prioritization Matters

Vendors come with varying levels of risk, making strategic vendor risk prioritization essential for an efficient third-party risk management (TPRM) program. Without a structured approach to profiling, tiering, and categorizing vendors, organizations may waste resources on unnecessary due diligence or overlook high-risk third parties.

ThirdSentry simplifies inherent risk scoring by providing an outsourced, AI-driven risk assessment process. Our automated scoring system evaluates vendors based on security, compliance, and operational risk factors—before considering any compensating controls.
