Third-Party Risk
Management.
Guardial covers third-party risk management for financial services: the vendor lifecycle, expert-built due-diligence questionnaires, and continuous monitoring. You start from a practitioner’s questionnaire library instead of a blank page. Then the Vendor Renewal agent flags contracts renewing within 90 days, so nothing auto-renews on you.

The work that used to
live in spreadsheets.
Four pillars of third-party risk management, each built by practitioners who lived the spreadsheets-and-overtime version of the same work.
-
Vendor Lifecycle
Onboarding to offboarding in one record. Contracts, questionnaires, attestations, risk-score history, and the people responsible, all stitched into a single timeline per vendor.
-
DDQs
Expert-built questionnaires covering SOC 2, BCP/DR, information security, financial health, and regulatory topics. Send, track, and score them, then reuse responses across vendors with shared parents.
-
Contract Management
Contract metadata captured at execution: term, renewal, oversight rights, audit rights, SLAs, data scope. Renewals route to legal with the right runway, so you never discover an auto-renew on the day it triggers.
-
Ongoing Monitoring
Track SOC 2 and contract renewal dates, insurance, and key vendor terms. The Vendor Renewal agent flags anything renewing within 90 days and drafts the review, so a renewal never sneaks up.

Vendor Renewal, on duty.
The Vendor Renewal agent scans your vendor inventory every day and flags any contract renewing within 90 days. Then it drafts a renewal review, so nothing auto-renews before you have looked at it. Each review lands in Issues Home for your team to confirm.

How third-party risk moves through the platform.
The path from intake to close, in four steps. Guardial logs each one with a named owner, and you can reverse any of them.
-
Inventory.
Guardial imports your existing vendor list, dedupes parents, and classifies by criticality and data access.
-
DDQ.
Send an expert-built questionnaire. Track responses, score, flag missing evidence, and reuse answers across vendors with shared parents.
-
Monitor.
Track SOC 2 and contract renewal dates. The Vendor Renewal agent flags anything renewing within 90 days and drafts the review.
-
Review
Renewal reviews open in Issues Home. Your team confirms the scope, and the agent drafts the follow-up questions.
The stack before Guardial.
The legacy tools and processes the Third-Party Risk module replaces, so you can retire them on day one.
- Google Drive folders of vendor DDQs
- Calendar reminders for SOC 2 renewals
- Manual reviews after a contract already renewed
- Generic enterprise GRC vendor modules
"We had 220 vendors in a Google Sheet. In the first week, the Vendor Renewal agent flagged three contracts renewing within 90 days, including one we would have let auto-renew."
