FortaRisks vs standalone TPRM platforms
Third-party risk platforms are built around questionnaires and assessment workflows. Useful, but self-reported, and frozen between two campaigns.
Questionnaires capture what a vendor declares at a point in time. FortaRisks keeps that workflow and adds what standalone TPRM tools miss: continuous external observation of every vendor, correlation with your own posture, attack surface and live threat intelligence, and an alert when reality drifts from declaration.

A vendor declares SOC 2, we watch the external signs of that alignment and alert on drift.

Common questions
- Does FortaRisks replace our TPRM questionnaires?
- You keep questionnaires where they are required, for DORA or contractual duties, and FortaRisks manages them. The difference is what happens between campaigns: continuous observation of every vendor instead of a yearly self-reported snapshot.
- How is the vendor score different from a TPRM grade?
- Scores run 0 to 100 with A+ to F grades, decomposable down to each finding and mapped to 1,468 SCF controls. You see why a vendor scores what it scores, and exactly what to demand of them.
- How fast can we onboard our vendors?
- Onboarding works by domain name: 60 vendors in days, an initial score for 100% of third parties in under 7 days, and the first drift alerts within the week.
