AI Increases True Positives On Vendor Risk 500%: VISO TRUST

VISO TRUST has issued its “2024 State of Third Party Risk Management: AI’s Impacts and Future Trends” which codifies that longstanding Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) methods are increasingly inadequate in today’s digital business environment. 

The report leverages VISO TRUST Platform-derived data, which includes profiles of more than 2.4 million companies, and insight from CISOs, security, and TPRM professionals across various industries.

Among key findings on legacy TPRM: 

  • Inadequate responses: Approximately 75% of vendors responding to legacy questionnaire approaches requiring manual input either ignore or delay crucial risk assessments.
  • False positives: Conventional cyber risk ratings yield a 90% false positive rate, undermining their reliability.

AI-driven transformation of TPRM findings:

  • Efficiency gains: AI-assisted modern TPRM programs reduce vendor and partner assessment timelines from months to days.
  • Near-complete coverage: AI and automation achieve almost 100% coverage of third-party networks.
  • Significant increase in true positives: data analysis revealed a 500% rise in accurate risk identifications.
  • Faster assessments: Risk evaluation times have decreased from 60 to 90 days to just five to eight days.
  • Enhanced accuracy: AI-driven methods refine risk assessment precision.
