Third parties are dependencies. Vulnerabilities are signals. Incidents are evidence.
Vendor onboarding with questionnaires, tiered by risk, tied to the specific Practice Instances each vendor supports. Reassessments on schedule. Dependency health flags surface exactly which controls are affected when a critical vendor degrades. Scoped vendor portal replaces email attachments and shared logins.
A third party is a dependency type. Every vendor tied to the Practice Instances they support, with health status, criticality, last-verified date, and reassessment cadence.
Templates for DPDP, RBI Outsourcing, ISO 27001 vendor requirements, SOC 2 sub-service organization criteria. Auto-score objective questions. Flag subjective for review. Link outcomes to controls.
API integrations pull ongoing signals from critical vendors (security posture, SOC 2 report status, uptime). Manual assurance tickets where APIs don't exist. Nothing slips.
When a vendor incident triggers DPDP 6-hour, RBI or GDPR notification obligations, the workflow fires automatically. Draft notification pre-populated.
A fintech CISO managed 340 vendors across critical infrastructure and non-critical categories. Post-GRAC: 34 critical vendors on API-driven continuous assurance, 306 on tiered manual cadence. When one payment-processor vendor's SOC 2 report lapsed, 17 affected Practice Instances flagged — remediation started same day, not at next audit.
Bring your top three critical vendors. We'll show you the dependency web live.
