  • Core Capabilities:
  • Predictive vendor risk modelling using real‑time breach disclosures and dark‑web intelligence to generate dynamic AI‑driven risk scores.
  • Automated compliance assistance via an agentic Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) workflow, reducing third‑party questionnaire effort by 60 %–80 %.
  • Target Industries: Defence & Aerospace, Critical Minerals & Energy, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Transportation & Logistics.
  • Regulatory Alignment: Designed to meet NIST‑compliant security architecture and configurable data residency for Canadian or EU regions.
