For SMBs that need TPRM without enterprise cost

ProcessUnity Alternative:
TPRM Outcomes at $49/month, Not $50k/year

ProcessUnity is built for enterprise security teams with dedicated GRC budgets. VendorAuditly delivers the same vendor risk management outcomes — vendor register, questionnaires, risk scoring, and compliance evidence — at a price designed for growing companies.

Why SMBs look for a ProcessUnity alternative
ProcessUnity’s cost and configuration complexity make it impractical for companies under 200 employees. SMBs need the same vendor risk outcomes — vendor register, questionnaires, risk scoring, evidence export — but without the enterprise price tag, dedicated GRC team, or multi-week implementation. VendorAuditly delivers all of this at $49/month, operational in under an hour.

Context

What is ProcessUnity — and why SMBs look elsewhere

ProcessUnity is a third-party risk management (TPRM) and vendor risk platform used by enterprise financial services, healthcare, and technology organisations. It is a capable platform for large organisations — and the wrong tool for SMBs.

Who it’s for

Enterprise security and procurement teams

ProcessUnity is designed for organisations with dedicated GRC or third-party risk teams, large vendor portfolios (hundreds or thousands of vendors), and integration requirements with enterprise systems. Its power comes from configurability — which also means complexity.

Cost

$50,000+ per year

ProcessUnity pricing is not publicly listed but analyst estimates and customer reports put enterprise TPRM platforms like ProcessUnity at $50,000-$150,000/year. This does not include implementation services, training, or ongoing configuration support.

Often requires a GRC consultant for implementation
Setup

Weeks of configuration before going live

ProcessUnity requires significant configuration to match your assessment workflows, risk scoring model, and integration requirements. Most implementations involve an onboarding engagement with the ProcessUnity team before you can send your first vendor questionnaire.

Target market

Enterprise, not SMB

ProcessUnity’s customer profile is large financial services firms, healthcare organisations, and technology companies with mature risk programmes. For companies with fewer than 200 employees and under 100 vendors, the platform is significantly over-engineered for the task.

What’s included

Everything SMBs need from a TPRM tool — ready to use

VendorAuditly covers the core third-party risk management workflow that growing companies need when they outgrow spreadsheets but cannot justify enterprise TPRM.

1

Vendor register with risk classification

Maintain a complete, up-to-date register of all vendors with risk tier classification (Critical, High, Medium, Low). Import from CSV or add manually. The register updates live as assessments complete and certificates arrive.

2

Pre-built questionnaire templates

Send DORA, ISO 27001, SOC2, and GDPR-aligned security questionnaires with one click. No template configuration required. Vendors complete via link without needing to create an account — which dramatically improves response rates.

3

Automated risk scoring

Risk scores are calculated automatically based on questionnaire responses and certificate completeness. Unlike ProcessUnity’s configurable risk models, VendorAuditly’s scoring is pre-built and starts working from day one — no configuration required.

4

Certificate tracking with expiry alerts

Store SOC2, ISO 27001, and insurance certificates per vendor. Automated alerts at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before expiry. Your evidence file is always current without manual monitoring.

5

One-click compliance evidence export

When a regulator, auditor, or enterprise customer asks for third-party risk evidence, export a complete pack in one click: vendor register, risk scores, assessment records with dates, and certificates on file. The evidence ProcessUnity generates at $100k/year is available at $49/month.


Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is ProcessUnity and who is it for?
ProcessUnity is an enterprise third-party risk management platform used by large financial services, healthcare, and technology organisations. It provides highly configurable vendor assessment workflows, risk scoring, and continuous monitoring. It is designed for organisations with dedicated GRC or procurement teams and priced accordingly.
Why do SMBs look for a ProcessUnity alternative?
ProcessUnity’s cost ($50,000+/year) and configuration complexity make it impractical for businesses under 200 employees without a dedicated security or GRC team. SMBs need the same third-party risk management outcomes — vendor register, questionnaires, risk scoring, compliance evidence — without the enterprise overhead.
Does VendorAuditly cover the same features as ProcessUnity?
VendorAuditly covers the core TPRM workflow that SMBs need: vendor register with risk classification, questionnaire sending and tracking, risk scoring, compliance certificate tracking, and evidence pack generation. ProcessUnity also offers continuous monitoring data feeds, SOC integration, and highly configurable workflow automation — features relevant to enterprise teams but not typically needed by growing companies.
How does VendorAuditly pricing compare to ProcessUnity?
VendorAuditly starts at $49/month ($588/year). ProcessUnity pricing is not publicly listed but typically requires a multi-year contract at $50,000+/year. For an SMB managing 20-100 vendors, VendorAuditly delivers the required outcomes at roughly 1% of the ProcessUnity cost — with zero implementation time.
How long does VendorAuditly take to set up vs ProcessUnity?
VendorAuditly is operational in under an hour — import your vendor list, configure risk tiers, and send your first questionnaire the same day. ProcessUnity typically requires an onboarding engagement of days to weeks before you can send your first assessment. For SMBs that need TPRM outcomes now rather than in 30 days, the setup difference is decisive.
