Vendor Risk Management Software
Vendor Risk Management Software That Runs Itself
Your vendors are your attack surface — and your auditor knows it. Qireon centralizes every third party, automates security reviews and questionnaires, and continuously tracks each vendor’s risk so you always have an audit-ready register instead of a scramble before every renewal.

The problem
Why manual third-party risk management doesn’t scale
The average company relies on dozens of vendors that touch its data, yet most track them in a spreadsheet nobody trusts. When a vendor is breached or an auditor asks for your reviews, that spreadsheet is exactly where the risk hides.
No complete vendor list
New SaaS tools get bought without security review, so nobody has a single, accurate list of who actually has access to your data.
Questionnaires stall in email
Chasing SOC 2 reports and security questionnaires over email is slow, easy to drop, and impossible to track at scale.
Risk is assessed once, then forgotten
A vendor reviewed at onboarding may lapse its certification a month later — but a point-in-time assessment never catches it.
No consistent risk scoring
Without a repeatable method, every reviewer rates vendors differently and you can’t defend how a critical vendor was tiered.
Reviews and renewals drift apart
Contracts renew on autopilot while security reviews expire, leaving high-risk vendors in place with no current assessment.
No evidence for auditors
When an auditor asks for your vendor risk process, scattered emails and PDFs can’t prove that reviews actually happen on schedule.
How Qireon solves it
One register, from onboarding to continuous monitoring.
Inventory
Bring every vendor into one register — imported from your SSO, finance, and cloud systems so shadow vendors surface too.
Assess
Send security questionnaires and collect SOC 2 reports and certifications with automated reminders, no email chasing.
Score
Tier each vendor by inherent and residual risk using a consistent, repeatable method you can defend to any auditor.
Review
Route assessments to the right owners for sign-off, with a clear trail of who approved each vendor and when.
Monitor
Track certification expiries and re-assessment dates continuously, with alerts before a vendor’s review goes stale.
Report
Give auditors a live, complete vendor register with every assessment and approval already mapped to your controls.

Questionnaires and document requests send and chase themselves, so security reviews finish in days, not weeks.
Consistent risk scoring
Tier vendors by inherent and residual risk with a repeatable method you can defend to any auditor or board.
Continuous monitoring
Certification expiries and re-assessment dates are tracked automatically, so reviews never quietly go stale.
Clear ownership
Each vendor has an accountable owner and reviewer, so assessments and renewals always land with the right person.
Audit-ready evidence
Every questionnaire, report, and approval is captured and mapped to controls, proving your TPRM program actually runs.

Works with the tools you already use.
Qireon connects directly to your cloud, code, and identity providers — plus any custom API — so vendor risk management fits your existing stack instead of adding manual work.

Every framework
Supports the frameworks your buyers ask for.
One vendor risk program satisfies third-party requirements across every framework at once — SOC 2 CC9.2, ISO 27001 Annex A 5.19–5.22 supplier controls, HIPAA business-associate oversight, and GDPR processor due diligence all draw on the same register and evidence.
Vendor Risk Management — frequently asked questions.
What is vendor risk management software?+
Vendor risk management software helps you identify, assess, and continuously monitor the third parties that access your data or systems. It centralizes your vendor register, automates security reviews, and keeps evidence audit-ready so third-party risk stays under control.
What is the difference between VRM and TPRM?+
The terms are used interchangeably. Third-party risk management (TPRM) is the broader discipline of managing risk from any external party, and vendor risk management (VRM) focuses on suppliers and service providers specifically. Qireon covers both under one register.
How does Qireon automate vendor assessments?+
Qireon sends security questionnaires and document requests to vendors, chases them with automated reminders, and stores every response and SOC 2 report in one place. Reviewers get a complete picture without managing threads in email.
How are vendors risk-scored and tiered?+
Vendors are scored on inherent risk — based on the data and access they have — and residual risk after their controls are considered. That produces a consistent tier for each vendor that you can defend to auditors and leadership.
Does Qireon continuously monitor vendors?+
Yes. Rather than reviewing a vendor once at onboarding, Qireon tracks certification expiries and re-assessment dates and alerts you before a review goes stale, so high-risk vendors never slip through unmonitored.
Can I collect SOC 2 reports and certifications from vendors?+
Yes. You can request and store vendors’ SOC 2 reports, ISO 27001 certificates, and other attestations directly in each vendor’s record, with reminders when a document is due to expire.
How does this help with SOC 2 vendor requirements?+
SOC 2’s CC9.2 criterion expects you to assess and manage the risks of vendors and business partners. Qireon runs and evidences that process end to end — inventory, assessment, scoring, and monitoring — so the requirement is continuously met.
Does Qireon support HIPAA business associate management?+
Yes. You can track business associates, store executed BAAs, and evidence the oversight HIPAA requires for third parties that handle PHI, all within the same vendor register.
How does Qireon find vendors we forgot about?+
By importing from your SSO, finance, and cloud systems, Qireon surfaces vendors that were onboarded without a security review — the shadow third parties that are easy to miss in a manual spreadsheet.
Who owns each vendor relationship in Qireon?+
Every vendor is assigned an accountable owner and reviewer. Assessments, renewals, and remediation tasks route to that person automatically, so responsibilities are always clear and reviews get done on time.
How is this different from a spreadsheet?+
A spreadsheet can’t send questionnaires, track expiries, or prove that reviews happened. Qireon automates the workflow and captures the evidence, turning vendor risk from a periodic scramble into a continuous, audit-ready process.
Can I export vendor risk data for an audit?+
Yes. You can generate a complete vendor register with risk tiers, assessments, and approvals in a click, or give your auditor read-only access to review the program live.
