Vendor Risk Intelligence

Independent Intelligence
for Modern Vendor Risk.

VERA collects and verifies externally observable security and operational risk indicators — delivering defensible vendor assessments that go beyond the questionnaire.

How VERA Works

Continuous external intelligence across a broad set of risk domains

VERA continuously collects and validates externally observable security and operational signals to produce a structured, evidence-backed vendor risk assessment without relying on vendor-provided input.

External Attack Surface

Internet-facing infrastructure, exposed services, SSL posture, shadow IT, and subdomain exposure.

DNS and Email

Email authentication and DNS hygiene: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC, MTA-STS, and BIMI configuration.

Vulnerability Exposure

Known CVEs on exposed hosts, end-of-life software, outdated frameworks, and CISA KEV matches.

Breach and Dark Web

Historical breaches, credential leaks, ransomware mentions, and dark web exposure verified against authoritative sources.

Compliance and Governance

ISO 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, HITRUST, and CMMC certifications verified against issuing body registries.

Security Maturity Signals

Security leadership presence, hiring activity, tooling adoption, and operational maturity indicators.

Code & Secret Exposure

Exposed repositories, leaked secrets, credential patterns, and public configuration exposure.

Financial and Reputation

Financial stability, legal actions, customer sentiment, layoffs, and sanctions sourced from SEC EDGAR, BBB, Trustpilot, and Crunchbase.

Verification & Scoring

Every finding is verified before it impacts risk scoring

VERA evaluates source credibility, vendor association, contextual relevance, and evidence quality before intelligence contributes to assessment results.

Vendor association verification Signals must demonstrate contextual association to the target vendor before contributing to assessment results.

Source credibility analysis Evidence is evaluated against reliability, accessibility, and confidence criteria prior to scoring.

False positive suppression Low-confidence, unverifiable, and duplicate findings are excluded before impacting assessment outcomes.
