FortifyData has introduced significant AI advancements to its Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) platform, featuring the AI Auditor for automated report analysis and a preview of AI workflow automation. These enhancements address the expanding cyber risks from third-party vendors, where breaches linked to external parties doubled to 30% according to the 2025 Verizon DBIR, enabling faster, more accurate vendor oversight.
The AI Auditor, soft-launched in late Q3 2025, allows TPRM teams to upload standard vendor security documents and receive an automated audit against chosen compliance frameworks. It generates a user-friendly dashboard that identifies gaps, deficiencies, and overall status, backed by direct references to the source report pages.
This capability removes the time-intensive manual review process, enabling organizations to assess more vendors efficiently while maintaining high accuracy in risk evaluations.
"Manual review of vendor reports has long been a bottleneck for TPRM programs," said Victor Gamra, CEO at FortifyData. "Our AI Auditor delivers immediate value by automating analysis with precision and transparency, helping clients scale their vendor oversight without sacrificing accuracy. Even I was surprised at some of the gaps it highlighted when evaluating our own SOC 2 report."
FortifyData is preparing to release AI workflow features that will handle autonomous vendor interactions, including guiding onboarding, requesting additional evidence, flagging non-compliance, and issuing reminders. These tools aim to further alleviate administrative tasks and expedite the entire vendor lifecycle.
Integrated with FortifyData's existing strengths in ongoing external attack surface monitoring, vulnerability intelligence, and questionnaire insights, these AI innovations deliver a proactive, comprehensive approach to managing third-party cyber risks.
Organizations can explore these advancements in an upcoming live session on improving TPRM programs, scheduled for January 13, 2026.
FortifyData's AI-enhanced TPRM platform positions enterprises to mitigate escalating vendor-related threats effectively, combining automation with precise risk visibility in an increasingly interconnected ecosystem.
