SaaS & Technology
Your vendors are part of your customers' risk.
Technology companies inherit their suppliers' exposure and then have to explain it to their own customers. ProcureCortex turns sub-processor and infrastructure documentation into findings you can stand behind.
The vendor-risk environment
A vendor chain that is mostly other software.
The estate is fast-moving: teams adopt tools quickly, and sub-processors change without a procurement cycle.
- Cloud infrastructure and managed platform providers
- Sub-processors embedded in the product itself
- Developer tooling, observability and data platforms
- Outsourced support and professional services partners
Typical documentation
- SOC 2 Type II reports and penetration test summaries
- ISO 27001 certificates and Statements of Applicability
- Data processing agreements and sub-processor lists
- Security whitepapers and architecture documentation
- Uptime, incident response and support commitments
Common workflow problems
Where vendor review breaks down.
Speed of adoption
Tools enter the stack faster than the review process can absorb.
Sub-processor churn
A supplier's own vendors change and the disclosure is easy to miss.
Customer questionnaires
Your customers ask how you assessed the vendors behind your product.
Small review teams
Security reviews compete with product work for the same people.
