Your company uses 30+ SaaS tools. Someone just asked you which ones have SOC2. You don’t know. VendorAuditly gives IT teams a complete picture of their vendor risk stack — without becoming a compliance expert.
IT used to mean keeping the lights on. Now it means answering security questionnaires about every tool the business adopted — often without IT’s knowledge.
The average SMB runs dozens of SaaS applications. Sales adds a CRM. Finance adds an expense tool. Marketing adds five more. IT is accountable for all of them — but most were never security-reviewed before adoption.
DORA requires financial services firms to manage ICT third-party risk across their full supply chain. Your SaaS stack is that supply chain. If you sell to regulated customers, their DORA obligations flow down to you.
NIS2 extends cybersecurity requirements to more organisations and explicitly covers supply chain risk. Your IT vendors are in scope — not just your own infrastructure.
Security questionnaires are no longer reserved for Fortune 500 deals. Mid-market customers routinely ask: which SaaS tools do you use, do they have SOC2, and can you prove you assessed them?
When your CRM provider is breached, your customer data is exposed. Under GDPR, you are the data controller. Your enterprise customer will ask what your vendor risk assessment process was. You need a real answer.
30% of breaches involve a third partySeven questions that cover the IT vendor risk assessment basics. Send them before you renew, not after an incident forces the conversation.
Ask: when was it last renewed? Who is the auditor? A SOC2 Type I is a point-in-time snapshot — Type II covers operating effectiveness over time. For data-heavy tools, this is non-negotiable.
Request the report summary, not just a logo on their websiteAsk: where is our data stored? EU/UK only? Can it be moved without notice? GDPR and many enterprise contracts require clarity on geography before you sign.
Ask: do you have a signed DPA? Who are your sub-processors? If they process personal data and you do not have a DPA, you have a compliance gap today.
Ask: how quickly will you notify us? What is your incident response process? Contractual breach notification within 24–72 hours is standard for enterprise-grade vendors.
Ask: what is your uptime guarantee? Show incidents from the last 12 months. A vendor with three major outages and no post-mortems is an operational risk, not just a security one.
Ask: can we audit your security controls if required by our regulator or a customer? Many SMB contracts omit this. Enterprise customers will ask for it in their own due diligence.
Ask: minimum £1m / $1m coverage. Can you provide the certificate with expiry date? Insurance does not prevent breaches, but it signals maturity and provides recourse.
VendorAuditly sends these questions automatically and tracks responses in one place.
Start free →Most IT teams are not failing because they ignore risk. They are failing because the business adopts tools faster than IT can assess them.
68% of SMBs have no formal process for assessing new SaaS vendors before adoption. That is not a statistic about negligence — it is what happens when shadow IT meets a growing company.
No compliance background required. No six-month implementation. No $50,000/year price tag. This is supplier due diligence and IT vendor risk management that fits how you already work.
Import from a spreadsheet or add manually. List every tool with data access, admin rights, or operational criticality — even the ones departments adopted without telling you.
Use the pre-built IT/SaaS template covering SOC2, data residency, breach notification, and sub-processors. Vendors complete via link; you track who has not responded.
Upload documents once. VendorAuditly extracts expiry dates and alerts you at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days — so renewals do not slip through during a busy quarter.
See which vendors are high, medium, or low risk based on questionnaire responses and document completeness. Prioritise re-assessment where it matters.
When an enterprise customer or auditor asks for evidence, export a ZIP and summary showing assessments, documents on file, and review dates. Third party due diligence answered in minutes, not days.
Import your tools, send your first questionnaire, and see which vendors need attention — in about ten minutes.
