    Software your suppliers ship is now checked against publicly known vulnerabilities, so a known issue reaches you rather than sitting unnoticed.

    Rate the exposure each supplier relationship carries, and export a dated snapshot of your supplier coverage for an auditor.

  • Vendors

    Vendor Software launched

    Collect and assess the software documentation your suppliers provide, or request it from them by link. Each document is graded so gaps are obvious.

    Legal pages rewritten in plain language

    An acceptable use policy published, and every legal page rewritten so it can be read without a lawyer sitting next to you.
