SOC 2 evidence covers workforce MFA, but administrative support access needs confirmation.

Incident notification timingPENDING VENDOR RESPONSE

Ask the vendor to commit to a customer-notification window.

01 / ACCEPTED EVIDENCE

Bring the documents
the vendor actually provides.

Multiple documents can be included in one vendor review. The review is counted per vendor, not per document.

ASSURANCE

SOC 2 reports

Extract control coverage, exceptions, carve-outs, complementary controls, scope, and period context.

TECHNICAL TESTING

Penetration-test evidence

Identify material findings, remediation status, testing scope, limitations, and unanswered questions.

SUPPORTING EVIDENCE

Questionnaires and trust exports

Compare vendor claims with available documentation and identify statements that still need support.

02 / EXACT WORKFLOW

From a document bundle to a defensible decision.

The result is not a compliance certification. It is a structured review of what the submitted evidence supports and what it leaves open.

01

Upload vendor evidence

Add the SOC 2, penetration-test summary, questionnaire, trust export, or other authorized documents.

02

Map controls and gaps

Identify covered controls, exceptions, missing information, risk signals, and conflicting claims.

03

Structure follow-up

Turn thin or missing evidence into explicit questions instead of unsupported positive assumptions.

04

Document the decision

Share the report, apply business context, and record the final approval, limitation, or rejection.

03 / REPORT OUTPUT

Evidence that can survive the next question.

The report gives an auditor, client, manager, or procurement stakeholder the same control coverage, missing evidence, risk context, and final-decision basis your reviewer saw.

Vendor reviews support custom risk requirements and deal-breakers. Where evidence is thin, the report says so. CIRT does not turn missing vendor proof into a passing control.

04 / COMMON OBJECTIONS

Keep control of
sensitive vendor evidence.

Vendor documents can remain with the assessment for continuity. Customers decide whether to retain them.

RETENTION

Retained by default, not forever

Vendor documents remain with the assessment by default. Retention can be disabled, and the assessment plus retained documents can be deleted at any time.

AI MODEL TRAINING

No AI model training on all-inclusive data

All-inclusive submissions are not used for AI model training. BYOK processing follows the customer's Anthropic account settings and contract.

THIN EVIDENCE

Missing proof becomes a gap

The review identifies incomplete evidence and follow-up questions rather than pretending the easy half of the vendor review is the whole decision.

05 / RELEVANT PRICING

Two vendor reviews from $50/month.

Starter includes 2 vendor reviews per month. Multiple documents can be included in each review. Early-access BYOK vendor assessments have usually cost less than repository reviews in Anthropic usage, depending on document count.

DOCUMENT-REVIEW ECONOMICSIf a manual vendor review takes four staff-hours, $99 Starter breaks even at $24.75/hour.
Compare every plan

The labor comparison is illustrative. Actual provider spend, review time, and organizational savings vary.
