Drata's standalone Third-Party Risk Management solution automates vendor review end-to-end, cutting assessment time to minutes and expanding coverage across the entire vendor portfolio
SAN FRANCISCO – Drata, the leading Agentic Trust Management Platform, today announced its Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) product is now available for the first time as an independent solution. Built around an agentic assessment engine, Drata TPRM is designed to replace static, point-in-time vendor scoring with continuous, evidence-backed risk decisions that hold up to scrutiny at any scale.
Resolving the Visibility Gap
Companies rely on third-party technology more than ever to scale — and AI accelerates that reliance exponentially. Yet most GRC programs struggle to thoroughly assess each vendor. According to the Drata State of GRC in the Age of AI Report, 75% of GRC leaders say the pace of AI adoption is outpacing their teams' ability to properly vet third parties. Thorough, manual vendor reviews consume hundreds of hours, stealing critical time and attention away from the security team. As a result, in-depth reviews are often reserved for just the 10–20% most critical vendors, leaving up to 90% of the average company’s third-party portfolio assessed with far less rigor, accumulating unmeasured risk. Even worse, findings from an upcoming Drata report shows 76% of organizations re-assess their third-party partners and vendors no more often than once a year.
With TPRM, Drata delivers:
- Defensible decisions, at every stage. Every result — inherent and residual assessment — comes with the reasoning and evidence behind it, so when an auditor asks why, there's something specific to point to, not a black box score.
- Consistent judgment, every vendor. Consistent standards are applied by the agent to vendor #1 and vendor #1,000, across the vendor lifecycle — removing the judgement drift that comes from different reviewers, or the same reviewer on a different day.
- Hundreds of hours saved. The agent does the reading, mapping, and measuring first, so the reviewer's time goes to confirming a finished result instead of manually assessing information for every vendor in the portfolio.
Priyanka Chaudhary, Head of GRC at Brex, shares: “Drata's TPRM Agent allows us to level up our security risk management program across the board by reducing manual work and letting us focus on the risks that matter.” Allan Silva, Senior GRC Lead, adds it's made the team “a lot more productive while also improving the quality of our reviews.”
The Drata Difference
Historically, third-party risk solutions reduce vendor risk to binary logic—yes/no questions to business owners or a checkbox for a questionnaire answer. This approach trades away the context needed for a holistic view into a vendor's risk profile.
What sets Drata apart:
- Natural-language judgment: Instead of forcing inherent risk into a dropdown or checklist, Drata's agent applies the customer's own natural-language standards, weighing multiple factors together in context, the way a practitioner actually assesses a vendor.
- Evidence-backed, defensible results: Every assessment comes with the reasoning and evidence behind it, providing specific material to point to when a decision is questioned.
- Validated residual risk vs. open-ended guesswork: Where other tools generate questionnaire answers with no baseline to check for accuracy, Drata's agent assesses all vendor evidence and questionnaire responses against customer-defined standards and returns evidence citations, assessment results, and a calculated risk score.
- Consistent judgment at scale: The same rigor applies to vendor #1 and vendor #1,000, removing the drift that comes from different reviewers, or the same reviewer on a different day.
- Infinite vendors: Drata doesn't price Agentic TPRM by vendor count. Every vendor gets a free inherent risk assessment, so customers can score their entire portfolio without limits, paying only when a vendor needs a full security review.
"The pace of AI adoption today means organizations must abandon the antiquated notion of periodic check-ins, and quickly implement continuous judgement applied at scale,” said Adam Markowitz, Cofounder and CEO of Drata. “Facing a colossal tech stack with insufficient hours or headcount for rigorous vetting, we built agentic TPRM to remove these trade-offs, giving every vendor the same depth of scrutiny without sacrificing rigor or accuracy.”
