Vendor Management

CISOGenie Vendor Management brings all vendor governance into one platform.

Third-party vendors, SaaS providers and supply-chain partners play a critical role in business operations — but they also introduce compliance gaps, data security risks and regulatory obligations. Most organizations struggle to evaluate vendor security posture, manage questionnaires, track risk approvals or maintain an accurate record of vendor audits.

CISOGenie handles everything from onboarding and risk assessment to security questionnaire automation, continuous monitoring and trust documentation — helping you assess vendors faster, reduce manual reviews and maintain complete oversight of your extended ecosystem.
