Scrutineer · Vendor risk
Vendor risk management software for your whole portfolio
Once you pass a few dozen vendors, managing risk in spreadsheets stops working: assessments are inconsistent, no one knows which vendors touch sensitive data, and renewals lapse silently. Vendor risk management software should give you one operating picture of the whole portfolio. Scrutineer centralizes onboarding, assessment, scoring and monitoring for every vendor in one place.
Each vendor carries a current risk score, the data it accesses, its certifications and an owner, and the platform keeps that picture live. You can see your riskiest vendors at a glance, route assessments and renewals automatically, and prove to leadership and auditors that third-party risk is under control. You set the policy and make the calls; Scrutineer runs the program underneath.

Why it works
What you get with vrm software
One portfolio view
Every vendor, its risk score, data access, certifications and owner lives in one platform, so you manage third-party risk as a program, not a pile of spreadsheets.
Consistent assessments
Onboarding and reassessment follow the same structured process for every vendor, so your scores are comparable and your decisions defensible.
Always current
Continuous monitoring and automated renewals keep the portfolio picture live, so nothing lapses silently and risk never quietly drifts.
What it handles
Controls in, an evidence-linked report out
Point Scrutineer at a framework or a vendor and it maps every control, pulls the evidence it can find, flags the gaps and scores the risk, returning a report with linked evidence and a prioritized remediation list. Scrutineer is decision support for readiness, an accredited auditor still issues the attestation.

Why Scrutineer
One platform that maps controls and scores risk
Not a static questionnaire, not a pass-fail black box, and not a spreadsheet you maintain by hand. Live control mapping across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and PCI, automatic evidence and a prioritized gap list, returned as a report you can act on. The AI scrutinizes, you decide.
Mapped to real controls
Every framework is broken down into the controls it actually requires, each scored on a red to amber to green scale, so readiness stays transparent and consistent.
Evidence behind every finding
Each control links to the exact evidence that satisfies it, the policy, the config, the log line, so the finding is auditable and your readiness is defensible.
A prioritized gap list
Open gaps roll up into a ranked remediation list, so the highest-risk findings sit at the top and your team fixes what matters before the audit begins.
