Every step, every decision, every report—powered by AI Agents, real-time signals, and seamless integrations.
The Status Quo Is Broken
Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) was supposed to protect businesses. Instead, it often feels like a blocker.
It usually starts with an email. Actually, several emails—because there’s always a backlog. Inside them are spreadsheets, responses to due diligence questionnaires, action items, control gaps, risk assessments (if you’re lucky), and endless follow-ups.
It’s not just inconvenient—it’s torture.
“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.” – Sun Tzu
The third-party ecosystem has changed dramatically, but our approach to managing third-party risk hasn’t kept up. Risk today isn’t static or a point-in-time exercise. It’s dynamic, distributed, and continuous. Yet, the workflows around it are still manual, slow, and full of errors.
At SAFE, we believe it’s time to completely reinvent TPRM. Our vision is bold but simple: a TPRM program that is 100% automated. Every step, every decision, every report—powered by AI Agents, real-time signals, and seamless integrations.

Introducing: 100% Autonomous TPRM
Today, you’ll find some automation in TPRM—but it’s scattered. A questionnaire tool here, an external scanner there, maybe a workflow engine duct-taped to emails. What’s missing is a coherent, end-to-end approach that removes manual friction at every step.
When we say 100% automation, we mean:
- 100% Automated Onboarding
- 100% Automated Risk Assessment
- 100% of Vendor Interaction Automated
- 100% of Your Vendors Assessed
At SAFE, we’ve completely rebuilt TPRM by eliminating manual work from every part of the process. Not just automating bits and pieces, but designing an integrated, intelligent system of AI Agents that drive the entire third-party risk management lifecycle.
Here’s How We’re Doing It
1. 100% Automated Onboarding
Onboarding a vendor shouldn’t take weeks or months. With AI-driven automation, SAFE TPRM makes onboarding rapid.
You can add vendors in four ways:
- Contract Management and Procurement Tools: SAFE automatically detects and adds new vendors by integrating with your existing contract and procurement tools.
- Authentication and SSO Tools: We continuously scan your SSO systems to discover vendors used by employees in your organization
- Syncing with Other TPRM Tools: If you already have vendors listed in tools like OneTrust or ServiceNow, SAFE automatically imports them.
- Drop Any File: You can simply drop in a vendor intake form—even an image—and SAFE will process it.
Or, just type in the company name, and SAFE fills in the rest. It’s as easy as searching for something on Google.
For enterprises that have Intake-forms, our Intake AI Agent can read through them and parse out the necessary information. Now imagine onboarding thousands of vendors this way—all at once. That’s game-changing.

2. 100% Automated Risk Assessments
Once a vendor is added, SAFE instantly pulls public data to build a complete risk profile.
We generate a SAFE Score between 0.00 and 5.00 for each vendor, based on applicable risk scenarios, which is based on underlying likelihood numbers calculated using the FAIR methodology.
Risk assessments have often been buried under busywork, but with SAFE TPRM, risk finally takes center stage.
Our system uses various AI Agents, including:
- Public Records Analyzer: Scans SEC filings, breach portals, legal notices, sanctions lists, etc.
- Digital Footprint Scanner: Maps IPs, domains, subdomains, and associated domains.
- Outside-In Scanner: Runs over 150 security checks on the digital footprint.
- Contract Analyzer: Extracts and analyzes clauses from contracts automatically.
- Questionnaire Analyzer: Upload any questionnaire response, and SAFE will process it instantly.
- Smart Risk Tiering: Automatically categorizes vendors based on business impact.
We built SAFE to support regulatory needs too—whether it’s NIS2, DORA, or whatever comes next.

3. 100% Vendor Interactions Automated
We wanted to change the relationship between companies and vendors, from confrontation to collaboration.
With SAFE, vendor communication is fully automated:
- Automated First Reachout: Before we even email a vendor, SAFE gathers every available piece of information, so you’re only asking for what’s actually missing.
- Smart Follow-Ups: Automatically send reminders for missing information.
- Dynamic Workflows: Vendors are routed through workflows based on risk.
- Control Mapping from Certifications: Upload a vendor’s SOC2 or ISO docs, and SAFE auto-maps the controls.
- Slack/Email Integration: Updates and discoveries are shared via email and Slack so that both vendors and your teams stay informed in real-time.
No more chasing vendors. No more redundant requests. Just faster, better outcomes.

4. 100% of Your Vendors Assessed
You can’t manage what you don’t assess.
SAFE ensures that every vendor is assessed continuously, not just once a year.
You get:
- Live Risk Dashboard: A real-time view of your third-party risk landscape.
- AI-Driven SLA & Obligation Tracker: Never miss a renewal, contract obligation, or compliance milestone.
- Auto-Retiering: Vendors move across risk tiers automatically based on new information.
- Board-Ready Reporting: Instantly create CISO-level reports with the click of a button.

The Core Principles Behind Autonomous TPRM
To bring 100% autonomous TPRM to life, we focused on a few simple but powerful principles:
- Use AI Where It Matters: We didn’t sprinkle buzzwords. We built real autonomous agents that replace manual work.
- Human-Centered Design: Our goal isn’t just a powerful tool—it’s an experience teams love using every day.
- Open Ecosystem: SAFE TPRM fits into your world—integrating with your existing TPRM Tools, dashboards, security tools, procurement systems, and collaboration platforms.
The Takeaway: TPRM Doesn’t Have to Stay Broken
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates
We’re not here to patch TPRM. We’re here to rebuild it—smarter, faster, and more resilient.
SAFE’s 100% Autonomous TPRM is about freeing your teams from spreadsheets and follow-ups, so they can focus on strategic risk decisions.
In a world where third-party risk is growing faster than ever, we owe it to ourselves to do better.
At SAFE, we’re not just imagining the future of TPRM. We have built it.
