We are thrilled to share that SAFE has been named a Leader in the 2025 Cybersecurity Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Link Index™ by Liminal. This recognition speaks volumes about our vision to revolutionize third-party risk management through cutting-edge, AI-powered solutions that deliver unparalleled value to businesses worldwide.

SAFE was rated #1 in Product Capability among top vendors and outperformed other leaders in practitioner satisfaction by 8%.

Why This Recognition Matters

As enterprise ecosystems grow, third-party risk has become one of the biggest blind spots in cybersecurity. Traditional solutions—rooted in spreadsheets, static assessments, and siloed tools—can’t keep up with the speed and complexity of today’s risk landscape.

Liminal’s recognition of SAFE highlights a fundamental shift:
TPRM is no longer a manual process. With SAFE, it’s autonomous, intelligent, and continuous.

“Strategically, SAFE Security aligns with practitioner needs by focusing on automation, zero-trust principles, and AI-powered capabilities.” – Liminal 2025 Link Index™
