The problem it solves

Manually reviewing every new vendor for security and compliance risk takes time your team doesn't have. Keeping consistent, audit-ready records across many vendors is hard to maintain by hand.

Who it fits

Compliance, procurement, or security teams responsible for onboarding and evaluating third-party vendors.

How it works

  1. Vendor details are submitted through an intake form
  2. AI reviews the vendor's data access, certifications, and role
  3. A risk tier is assigned, such as low, standard, or critical
  4. The vendor's record is logged with the risk score and timestamp
  5. An alert is sent for high-risk or uncertified vendors
What you get

Vendors you catch before a security gap gets in

You get every new vendor evaluated and logged with a risk score, keeping your compliance records complete and audit ready.

What you get

A logged, risk-scored vendor record ready for audit review, plus an alert for risky vendors.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Gmail account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
