Vendor Assessment

Third-party risk, assessed with evidence you can keep

Vendor assessment is a volume problem with an evidence requirement: dozens of dimensions across hundreds of suppliers, and every conclusion potentially revisited after something goes wrong. Agents handle the volume; CueCrux handles the evidence. Each finding, on regulatory standing, financial stability, security posture, or operational track record, carries a signed receipt to its source, so the assessment file is a replayable record rather than a scored spreadsheet of unattributed judgements.

Reassessment becomes cheap and honest. Rerunning the sweep produces a diff over receipted findings: what changed about this vendor since the last review, with sources. Escalations route through human gates, and accepted risks are decision records with names on them.

For AI vendors specifically, CueCrux changes the questionnaire. The governance standard it sets internally, every action signed, attributed to a passport, revocable with proof, is a fair benchmark to hold suppliers to: ask whether their agents can produce receipts, whether access can be provably revoked, whether their claims verify offline. A vendor who cannot answer has told you something useful.

Assessment packs export as verifiable bundles for internal audit or for the vendor themselves to review, which tends to raise the quality of the conversation.
