“SAFE entered TPRM 18 months ago with a clear vision: make it autonomous. In our first appearance in this IDC MarketScape, we are a Leader, said Saket Modi, CEO and Co-Founder, SAFE. “SAFE TPRM is growing more than 120% year over year, and we now serve 10% of the Fortune 500. That momentum reflects a need legacy platforms have left unmet: turning risk assessments into action without adding manual work. We built TPRM fundamentally differently, with AI at its foundation: identifying gaps, engaging vendors, and driving resolution. The industry is talking about AI. We’re putting it to work to drive outcomes.”

Recognized for Autonomous TPRM at Scale

According to the report, authored by IDC Research Director Philip D. Harris, CISSP, CCSK, one of SAFE’s key strengths is its ability to deliver autonomous TPRM at scale: “Purpose-built AI agents automate the entire TPRM life cycle, including tiering, questionnaire filing, document analysis, and continuous monitoring, enabling zero-effort, autonomous vendor risk management at scale.”

The report recognized Safe Security for the following strengths:

• Purpose-built AI agents automate the entire TPRM life cycle, including tiering, questionnaire filing, document analysis, and continuous monitoring, enabling zero-effort, autonomous vendor risk management at scale.
• Workflows are powered by a unified intelligence layer spanning third-party risk, enterprise exposure, and cyber-risk quantification.
• FAIR-based financial risk quantification uniquely expresses third-party cyber-risk in monetary terms that resonate with executives and board audiences.

IDC: Consider SAFE When You Want TPRM to Go Beyond Assessments

The IDC MarketScape noted to consider Safe Security when: 

• You want to unify Third-party Risk Management, AI Security Posture Management, Enterprise Risk Management, and Continuous Threat Exposure Management into one single platform.
• You want agentic AI to automate the entire TPRM life cycle, from vendor discovery and tiering to SOC 2 analysis and breach notifications, without adding analyst headcount.
• You need to communicate third-party cyber-risk in financial terms to executives, boards, or external regulatory stakeholders.

“We believe this IDC MarketScape recognition validates our focus on a challenge every TPRM analyst and program leader faces: managing a growing third-party ecosystem without scaling manual work,” said Saket Bajoria, Chief Product Officer, SAFE. “AI cannot be a bolt-on. It has to deliver value throughout the TPRM lifecycle, from collecting evidence to identifying gaps and driving resolution with vendors. 100% Autonomous TPRM gives teams the capacity to act as risk emerges and scale their programs without scaling headcount.”
