Drata Unveils AI Agent to Revolutionize Vendor Risk Management
Drata introduces an AI Agent for Vendor Risk Management, transforming manual processes into autonomous, continuous Trust Management for enterprises.
Drata, a leader in AI-native Trust Management, has announced the launch of its AI Agent for Vendor Risk Management (VRM), marking a significant shift from manual, fragmented GRC tools to autonomous Trust Management powered by AI. This innovation aims to redefine how enterprises evaluate and manage vendor risk, offering a proactive approach to governance, risk, compliance, and assurance (GRC-A).
Key Features of the VRM Agent
- Automated Criteria Extraction and Mapping: The AI Agent ingests vendor questionnaires or custom criteria (PDF, DOCX, XLSX), eliminating manual setup and establishing a scalable baseline for risk assessments.
- AI-Powered Document Review and Risk Scoring: Integrated with SafeBase Trust Center, the agent analyzes vendor artifacts against defined criteria, flagging risks and producing structured reports.
- Dynamic Report Generation and Follow-Up Orchestration: The agent generates executive summaries and automates follow-up questionnaires for gaps, providing real-time visibility into vendor risks.
Industry Impact
Ali Firooz, Security Engineering Manager at Homebase, praised Drata's vision: "Their AI vision goes beyond automation; it's about enabling a future where trust is dynamic, intelligent, and woven into every decision."
Adam Markowitz, cofounder and CEO of Drata, emphasized the transformative potential: "Our new AI agent delivers speed, precision, and continuous insight that wasn't possible before."
Drata's Broader AI Vision
Drata is accelerating toward a fully agentic platform, with specialized AI agents autonomously managing trust. The company recently launched the Drata Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling organizations to power AI workflows with live, actionable context.
