SOLUTIONS

A defensible risk read before every signature.

TrustVendor gives procurement and vendor-management teams a current, evidence-backed risk signal on any vendor — so contract renewals and new onboardings are grounded in something more than a year-old questionnaire.

“We renew contracts with vendors every year. Nobody checks whether their SOC 2 is still valid or whether their subprocessor list changed since we signed.”

— what we hear from procurement teams

“Security sends back a questionnaire result that is eighteen months old. I am supposed to make a renewal decision based on that.”

— what we hear from procurement teams

“We onboarded a new payroll vendor in six weeks. Nobody asked whether their data residency commitment matched what their DPA actually said.”

Jobs to be done

What Procurement and Vendor Management use TrustVendor to accomplish.

Get a current risk read before you sign.

Before any contract renewal or new vendor onboarding, pull the vendor's current posture score, assurance score, active certifications, and open signals from TrustVendor. The evidence is up to date — not sourced from a questionnaire the vendor filled out last year — and every claim links to the source document you can verify.

Flag data residency and SCC mismatches before they become your problem.

TrustVendor monitors subprocessor pages and data hosting disclosures continuously. If a vendor's published data residency commitments conflict with what their DPA says, or if they have added a subprocessor in a jurisdiction your SCCs do not cover, that surfaces as a signal before contract execution — not as a compliance issue six months later.

Build a defensible vendor register without a dedicated risk analyst.

The portfolio view ranks vendors by residual risk to your data. When you need to justify a vendor decision to legal, security, or the board, you have a timestamped record of the risk posture at the time of the decision — not a narrative reconstructed from email threads.

Watch for changes during the contract term, not just at renewal.

Vendor risk does not freeze at signature. TrustVendor monitors continuously throughout the contract term and surfaces changes — a new subprocessor, a lapsed certification, a regulatory action — so you can act before the issue compounds. Renewal conversations start with current evidence, not assumptions.

In the field

“We used to take vendor trust centres at face value. Now we can show auditors exactly which sentence we relied on, with a hash they can verify themselves.”

Common questions.

How current is the data TrustVendor shows for a vendor?

TrustVendor monitors trust centres and subprocessor pages on a rolling crawl schedule — daily for dynamic sources and weekly for static documents. Each score carries an assurance timestamp and an evidence half-life so you always know how fresh the underlying evidence is. For vendors in your monitored portfolio, changes are detected within hours. For vendors you are evaluating for the first time from the public graph, the data may be a few days old depending on when that vendor was last crawled.

Can we use TrustVendor to check a vendor before we have a relationship with them?

Yes. The Public Vendor Graph is free and requires no account. You can search any of the 200,000+ vendors by name, domain, certification, or category and see their current posture score, assurance score, and active certifications immediately. Adding a vendor to a monitored workspace unlocks continuous signals, evidence requests, and the full assessment workflow.

What does TrustVendor actually check about a vendor?

TrustVendor monitors trust centres, subprocessor lists, DPA-relevant pages, status pages, Certificate Transparency logs for SSL certificates, CISA KEV and NVD for CVEs, SEC EDGAR 8-K filings for material disclosures, and HIBP for breach notifications. The posture score reflects what controls a vendor claims to have. The assurance score reflects how fresh and independently verifiable that evidence is.

How do we justify a vendor decision to security or legal using TrustVendor?

Every vendor finding in TrustVendor links to the exact character span in a hash-verified, immutable snapshot of the source document. You can share an evidence link with legal or security that shows precisely which sentence in which document was relied upon, along with the hash they can verify themselves. This gives you a defensible, timestamped record of the risk posture at the moment of the decision — not a narrative assembled after the fact.

What happens when a vendor changes their DPA or subprocessor list mid-contract?

TrustVendor fires a typed signal when a monitored source changes — including subprocessor page updates and DPA revisions. The signal includes the exact diff: which clause changed, which entity was added, which jurisdiction was added. You receive this in your configured channel (Slack, Jira, email) and can trigger a contract review before the change creates a compliance issue.

Sign contracts you can defend — not ones you hope hold up.
