What Guardial Third-Party Risk is
Guardial Third-Party Risk is a web-based vendor risk module in Guardial’s AI-native governance, risk, and compliance platform for regulated financial services. It keeps vendor records from onboarding through offboarding, including contracts, questionnaires, attestations, risk-score history, and responsible people. Teams can score questionnaire responses, identify missing evidence, and reuse answers among vendors with shared parents. The questionnaire library addresses SOC 2, business continuity and disaster recovery, information security, financial health, and regulatory topics. A daily renewal monitor flags contracts due within 90 days and drafts reviews for team confirmation. Guardial says a person reviews questionnaires before they are sent and its agents draft rather than apply actions autonomously. Contract records can include renewal terms, audit rights, service-level agreements, and data scope. Security provisions include role-based access and an immutable audit log; the company says agents are not trained on customer data. Pricing is on request, with a free trial available. The platform is for web and offers hybrid onboarding supported by Guardial’s team.
