TRUSTERO THIRD-PARTY RISK MANAGEMENT

You Approve. Trustero AI Does the Work

Move beyond chasing attestations and reading every vendor document. Trustero TPRM extends the AI agents behind your compliance program to your vendors, coordinating each assessment and delivering a first-pass risk determination against your own policies, so your team simply reviews and approves.
Less Follow-Up. Faster Assessments. Clearer Risk Decisions.
FEATURE OVERVIEW

See TPRM in Action

Watch a quick walkthrough to see how Trustero’s AI agents orchestrate the vendor assessment process to collect and review vendor attestation, flag gaps, and follow up with your third parties, so you can approve vendors faster without losing sight of risk.

Key Capabilities

Agentic Orchestration

Trustero tracks open requests, escalates what stalls, and starts the next step as soon as the last one closes.

Risk-Tiered Assessments

Set tier criteria once. Review depth scales with each vendor's risk.

AI First-Pass Evaluation

AI reviews attestations and questionnaire responses against your vendor policies and prepares a risk determination for your approval.

Benefits

Less Follow-Up. Consistent Reviews. Clear Approvals.

When AI agents run the logistics and the first-pass analysis, your team's time goes to review and approval.

Stop Tracking Requests by Hand

The orchestrator watches for changes and kicks off the next internal step. When something outside Trustero is needed, like a trust portal attestation, a security rating, or a finance sign-off, it becomes a request with an owner and an escalation path. Once someone closes it, the next step runs automatically.

Scrutiny Matched to Risk

Your lowest-tier vendors may need little or no vetting. Your highest-tier vendors may need ISO 27001 attestations, proof of insurance, funding status, and cloud-specific answers. Define the criteria that place a vendor in a tier, and Trustero applies that tier's review automatically.

Your Team Approves. AI Takes the First Pass.

Trustero AI evaluates attestations, questionnaire responses, and vendor information against your vendor risk policies, then prepares a risk determination for your team to review and approve. Reviewers start from a completed first-pass analysis rather than a blank page.

Adopt at Your Own Pace

If your vendor risk process runs across four to seven tools today, you don't have to replace them all at once. Start with one piece, such as risk-tier evaluation for new vendors, and expand as it proves out. Over time, Trustero can become your central system of record for vendor risk.

How It Works

Define It. Assess It. Approve It.

Think of Trustero TPRM as a coordinator that already knows your vendor policies. Tasks inside Trustero run automatically. Tasks outside it, such as pulling an attestation from a vendor's trust portal or getting a legal sign-off, become requests assigned to an owner, and the process continues once they're closed.

How to Build an Evidence-First, Gap-Driven TPRM Workflow

Risk Tiers and Overrides

Set the Standard Once. Adjust When Needed.

Trustero applies your tier criteria to each vendor automatically, so reviews follow your policy consistently. When a vendor needs different handling, you can override the criteria for that vendor alone.

Review depth scales with vendor risk, so low-risk vendors don't slow your team down
Per-vendor overrides allow faster or stricter handling
Requests outside Trustero get an owner and an escalation path
Start with one capability and expand from there
Persona Scenarios

How GRC Teams Use Trustero TPRM

From vendor intake to final approval, Trustero TPRM fits how compliance and risk teams already work. Here are some examples.
GRC Manager
Vendor Follow-Up Without the Spreadsheet

Scenario:
A GRC manager oversees assessments for hundreds of vendors and tracks open items in a spreadsheet that falls behind every week. With Trustero TPRM, each outstanding item is a request with an owner. Stalled requests escalate automatically, and closing one kicks off the next step in that vendor's assessment.

Outcome: Every open item has an owner and a status, and no one tracks assessments by hand.
Risk Manager
Review Depth That Matches Vendor Risk

Scenario:
A risk manager's team applies the same heavy review to a catering vendor as to a cloud infrastructure provider. They define tier criteria once. Low-tier vendors now clear with minimal vetting, while top-tier vendors are asked for ISO 27001 attestations, proof of insurance, funding status, and details on how they operate within AWS.

Outcome: Review effort goes where the risk is, and low-risk vendors stop clogging the queue.
CISO
Add TPRM Without a Migration Project

Scenario:
A CISO wants stronger vendor risk coverage but can't justify replacing the tools the process runs on today. The team starts with risk-tier evaluation for new vendors only, keeps existing tools in place, and expands Trustero's role as results come in.

Outcome: Progress on vendor risk without an all-or-nothing migration.
Privacy Officer / DPO
Stricter Review for Vendors That Handle Personal Data

Scenario:
A privacy officer needs closer scrutiny for a new vendor that will process customer personal data. They apply stricter criteria to that vendor, including privacy questions and a legal sign-off. Trustero AI evaluates the vendor's responses against the privacy requirements in the vendor policy, and the legal review arrives as an owned request.

Outcome: The privacy officer approves a determination built on a first-pass analysis, with legal sign-off tracked in the same place.
Internal Auditor
A Clear Record of Each Vendor Decision

Scenario:
An internal auditor needs to confirm that vendor assessments followed policy. In Trustero, each vendor's record shows its tier, the requests opened and who closed them, and who approved the final risk determination.

Outcome: Testing vendor assessments starts from one consistent record rather than scattered emails and files.
