The Problem

Managing third-party risk manually is slow, reactive, and resource-intensive. Vendor assessments pile up, onboarding timelines stretch, and security teams lack the bandwidth to continuously monitor the risk posture of every third party in their ecosystem. When a vendor suffers a breach or fails to maintain their certifications, organizations often find out too late — after the exposure has already occurred.

Why It Matters to CTOs and CEOs

Every vendor in your supply chain is an extension of your threat surface. For SaaS companies, the vendor ecosystem is especially complex: cloud providers, SaaS tools, payment processors, HR platforms, and subprocessors all carry risk that auditors will hold you accountable for. A single vendor breach can trigger customer notification requirements, regulatory scrutiny, and loss of trust that no amount of internal security can compensate for.

For CTOs, vendor risk management is a distraction from core engineering work. For CEOs, it's a liability that scales with every new partnership and integration. And for CFOs, manual vendor assessments consume budget on consultants and compliance staff that could be deployed elsewhere.

How the Market Responds

Vanta fast-tracks vendor assessments by up to 70% using AI-powered data collection and critical-event automation. It centralizes onboarding and assessment, uses AI to ingest external risk evidence, auto-approves low-risk vendors, and continuously monitors third-party breaches with cybersecurity ratings and notifications. OneTrust accelerates assessments with AI, tailors assessment depth using millions of cyber-risk insights, enables contextual scoring, automates onboarding, triages vendors, and performs ethics-compliance due diligence including sanctions and adverse-media screening. Drata weaves vendor risk into its integrated risk module, using automated questionnaires and AI analysis of vendor SOC 2 reports.

These platforms help organizations proactively manage third-party exposure — but operating the vendor risk program, reviewing findings, and driving remediation still requires dedicated internal resources.

How Agency Solves It

Agency manages your vendor risk program as a fully operated service — assessing, monitoring, and remediating third-party risk continuously without adding headcount to your team.



AI-powered vendor assessments — Agency's forward-deployed AI agents ingest vendor documentation, SOC 2 reports, security questionnaire responses, and public risk intelligence to assess vendor posture at speed and scale.



Continuous third-party monitoring — Agency monitors vendor risk posture around the clock, tracking breach notifications, certification lapses, and configuration changes across your entire vendor ecosystem.



Automated onboarding and tiering — new vendors are assessed, risk-scored, and tiered automatically based on data sensitivity, access level, and business criticality. Low-risk vendors are fast-tracked; high-risk vendors receive deeper scrutiny.



Proactive risk escalation — when a vendor's risk posture degrades, Agency surfaces the finding immediately with context and recommended action — not buried in a quarterly review deck.



Integrated with your compliance program — vendor risk findings feed directly into your GRC platform, audit evidence, and control validation workflows. No parallel processes, no siloed data.



Agency doesn't just give you visibility into vendor risk. Agency operates your vendor risk program end-to-end — so your team focuses on vendor relationships, not vendor spreadsheets.

Your vendor ecosystem is your extended threat surface. Agency operates your entire vendor risk program with forward-deployed AI — assessing, monitoring, and remediating third-party risk continuously, so a vendor breach never becomes your breach.
Scalable GRC without scaling headcount starts with vendor risk automation. Agency's forward-deployed AI agents assess, monitor, and remediate third-party risk continuously—replacing manual vendor questionnaires and spreadsheet tracking with AI-powered assessment and real-time monitoring. Vanta and Drata provide visibility; Agency provides the execution layer that actually manages your vendor ecosystem.
