Vendor Risk Assessment That Tracks What Actually Happens After Onboarding

Continuous vendor risk assessment is the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of third-party applications and their security posture throughout the vendor relationship lifecycle.

• Real-time security rating tracking for all vendor integrations

• Automated compliance verification without manual quarterly reviews

• Behavioral monitoring of actual vendor access and data usage patterns

It replaces point-in-time annual assessments with continuous visibility into vendor security, compliance, and access behavior.

Yes. Reco maps not just direct vendor relationships but also connections between your vendors and their vendors.

• Supply chain relationship mapping across all vendor connections

• Fourth-party discovery of vendors' vendors accessing your data

• Cascading risk assessment to understand complete exposure


A lot of recent breaches were about the supply chain, often starting with fourth-party vendors that organizations never directly assessed.

Reco automates vendor compliance verification and creates comprehensive audit documentation.

• Continuous compliance tracking eliminates manual quarterly vendor reviews

• Automated evidence collection for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and regulatory audits

• Real-time documentation of vendor security controls and access governance

Organizations typically reduce audit preparation time by 80% while providing auditors with more comprehensive, current evidence of vendor oversight.

Reco monitors vendor permissions and access patterns continuously to identify unauthorized expansion.

• Baseline permission documentation during initial vendor integration

• Real-time permission change detection for OAuth and API access modifications

• Behavioral anomaly alerts when vendors access unexpected data or systems

This approach catches permission creep before it creates security incidents or compliance violations.

Reco provides immediate updates when vendor security ratings, certifications, or incident status changes.

• Real-time security rating updates from multiple intelligence sources

• Breach notification integration for immediate vendor incident awareness

• Automated workflow triggers to restrict access or initiate emergency reviews

This enables proactive risk management rather than discovering vendor security degradation during scheduled annual reviews.

Balance continuous monitoring with risk-based governance that enables secure business relationships.

• Risk-based prioritization focuses resources on critical vendors with sensitive data access

• Automated low-risk approvals for vendors meeting security and compliance thresholds

• Continuous monitoring enables faster onboarding with ongoing oversight

• Business context intelligence distinguishes between security risks and legitimate business needs

The goal is enabling secure vendor relationships that support business innovation while maintaining security and compliance standards.
