Bitsight, the global leader in cyber risk intelligence, today announced accelerating adoption of its integrated third-party risk and exposure management portfolio as enterprises embrace AI to streamline workflows, automate governance frameworks, and incorporate third party intelligence into risk prioritization. Built on the world's most comprehensive cyber risk dataset, Bitsight is helping organizations reduce vendor onboarding times by as much as 70% and lowering the likelihood of breach from a third-party vulnerability by as much as 75%, while managing the entire vendor lifecycle in one place.
"We're seeing a seismic shift in how compliance and security teams manage third-party risk," said Vanessa Jankowski, SVP of Product at Bitsight. "Point solutions may automate a single task, but they fail to provide the continuous, threat-informed visibility enterprises require. With Bitsight AI, organizations are moving away from siloed tools in favor of integrated workflows — delivering real, actionable intelligence — that enables faster decisions and more resilient operations at scale."
As enterprises streamline end-to-end third-party risk management, adoption of Bitsight is climbing sharply. The platform brings together questionnaire exchange, AI-driven framework alignment, and real-time exposure and threat intelligence to deliver a dynamic, continuously updated view of vendor risk. This is fueling growth across Bitsight's Trust Management Hub Vendor Network — now 68,000 organizations strong — a centralized hub where companies can confidently exchange the critical security documents and questionnaires needed for assessments. Vendor Risk Management customers are also up 39% year over year, and Framework Intelligence is helping reduce vendor assessment tasks by more than 99%.
"Managing third-party risk used to mean juggling multiple tools and manual processes," said Jason Benedict, CISO of Fordham University. "With Bitsight, we finally have an integrated platform that ties it all together—AI speeds up the work, and the intelligence behind it means our decisions are more reliable."
Framework Intelligence powered by AI automates one of the most time-intensive parts of third-party risk management: parsing questionnaires and mapping documentation to standards such as SIG, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001. Early customers report significant time savings – tasks that used to take up to 8 hours are now completed within 90 seconds. By eliminating manual alignment and shifting from several hours down to mere minutes, the solution reduces compliance overhead and keeps programs synchronized with evolving regulations.
When combined with Bitsight's unique dataset—including deep and dark web threat intelligence, external exposure insights, and documentation from thousands of vendors—organizations gain a living, dynamic view of each vendor's true risk posture.
In the coming months, Bitsight will release expanded capabilities to include:
Transform framework assessment results into vendor actions—leveraging Bitsight's growing vendor network and ecosystem artifacts for deeper, scalable analysis.
New Trust and Findings agents will do the heavy lifting to free teams up for more impactful work. This includes everything from gathering crucial security artifacts and information from diverse online sources and trust centers to automatically collecting insights, surfacing key risks, and chasing follow-ups.
Enable effective prioritization based on threat actor activity and trends on the deep, dark, and open web.
Bitsight's innovations position it as a leader in transforming cyber risk management, empowering organizations to navigate complex third-party ecosystems with AI-driven efficiency and actionable intelligence.
