FortifyData's AI Innovations Transform Third-Party Risk Management

FortifyData's New AI-Powered Solutions

FortifyData, a leader in cyber risk management, has recently made significant strides in enhancing its Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) application. With the introduction of a new AI Auditor and advanced workflow automation features, businesses can now experience streamlined processes that are both efficient and effective in mitigating cyber risks associated with third-party vendors.

The Rising Importance of Third-Party Risk Management

As organizations increasingly rely on external vendors, the challenge of managing associated risks has grown. According to the latest 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, nearly 30% of all data breaches were linked to third-party involvement—this statistic represents a significant increase, double that of the previous year. This shift underscores the necessity for robust vendor risk management practices to safeguard sensitive information against potential threats.

AI Auditor: A Game Changer in Risk Assessment

FortifyData has unveiled its AI Auditor, a groundbreaking feature within its TPRM application that allows teams to upload key vendor security reports such as SOC 2 and HECVAT. This automated tool analyzes these reports against recognized frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001, delivering insightful results through an intuitive dashboard.

Enhanced Speed and Efficiency

One of the most time-consuming aspects of TPRM has been the manual review of vendor reports. The AI Auditor has substantially reduced this bottleneck by providing accurate evaluations in a fraction of the time it would typically take. The AI generates detailed insights, including identifying compliance gaps and control deficiencies, which empower teams to make informed risk assessments without the protracted wait.

Victor Gamra, CEO of FortifyData, emphasizes the immediate value the AI Auditor adds. “Our AI Auditor eliminates hours of manual review, enabling our clients to evaluate a larger pool of vendors effective in a shorter timeframe,” he stated. “Even we were surprised to discover gaps in our own SOC 2 report through this new capability.”

Automating Vendor Communication

Looking ahead, FortifyData plans to introduce additional AI workflow automation features intended to further ease the administrative demands placed on TPRM teams. These capabilities will enable seamless communication with vendors throughout the onboarding process, making requests for crucial documentation and timely status updates. This holistic approach not only accelerates the vendor lifecycle management but also minimizes administrative overhead—proving indispensable in today’s fast-paced business environment.

Proactive Strategies for Cyber Risk Management

Additionally, FortifyData's solution incorporates ongoing risk monitoring via external attack surface assessments, vulnerability intelligence, and insidious questionnaire-based insights. This multi-faceted approach allows organizations to maintain a comprehensive view of their third-party risk landscape.
