We’re excited to share that SAFE has been recognized in Forrester’s Third-Party Risk Management Platforms Landscape, Q3 2025. This report provides an overview of 29 vendors and helps risk, compliance, and security leaders evaluate options as they navigate today’s evolving third-party risk environment.

Why This Matters Now

As Forrester points out, the race to embrace AI is fueling an explosion of third-party vendors — from foundation models and pretrained data to open-source LLMs and new AI features embedded into existing supplier products. This vendor sprawl makes manual, spreadsheet-based approaches to third-party risk dangerously outdated.

Forrester highlights that the real value of TPRM lies in connecting vendor risk back to business outcomes: revenue, reputation, and resilience. Platforms need to move beyond static compliance checks and support organizations in building a resilient, adaptive ecosystem.

What SAFE Brings to the Market

SAFE’s inclusion in this report underscores our mission to make TPRM autonomous, business-aligned, and AI-native. We deliver on the challenges Forrester outlines in three key ways:

  • One Source of Truth – SAFE consolidates all vendor data, dependencies, and evidence in one place, giving stakeholders across risk, compliance, and security a shared view.
  • End-to-End Automation – Our workflows ensure risks don’t just get flagged but are automatically routed, triaged, and remediated — removing bottlenecks and manual chasing.
  • Agentic AI in Action – SAFE’s autonomous AI agents take on heavy-lift tasks like vendor questionnaire responses, contract review, evidence validation, and continuous monitoring. Unlike hype features, our AI is designed for real adoption — with transparency, privacy, and accuracy built in.
  • Business-First Context – By linking risk to financial impact, SAFE helps boards and executives see exactly how vendor issues affect revenue and resilience.

Looking Ahead

Third-party risk is now a board-level issue, and with AI reshaping the vendor landscape, the stakes have never been higher. SAFE’s recognition in Forrester’s TPRM Landscape validates our vision: to enable enterprises to manage third-party risk dynamically and autonomously, at the speed business now demands.
