Strike Graph today launched Trust Chain, a Third-Party Risk Management solution that moves vendor risk assessments from self-reported questionnaires to AI-validated compliance evidence. Most TPRM solutions on the market today operate on the same underlying assumption: that the vendor’s responses are accurate and reflect their real-world security posture. Trust Chain is built on the recognition that this assumption leads to increased risk, and that those consequences compound at enterprise scale.
While general-purpose AI reads vendor documents and summarizes what they say, Trust Chain’s validation engine does something different: Trust Chain requires vendors to submit actual compliance documentation—security audits, penetration tests, breach response procedures—and uses Strike Graph’s patent-pending Verify AI to automatically test and determine whether the evidence provided satisfies and mitigates the potential risk as intended. Trust Chain is built directly into the Strike Graph platform, meaning vendor risk data lives alongside a customer’s compliance programs, framework controls, and audit evidence without requiring a separate tool or a separate workflow.
The platform is built around three core capabilities:
- Evidence Request Libraries: Define exactly what evidence each vendor must submit—from Trust Chain’s standard set or converted from existing security questionnaires—and assign requests universally or per vendor relationship.
- AI Evidence Validation: As vendors submit documentation, Trust Chain uses Verify AI to test each submission against the specific requirements it is meant to satisfy—assessing whether evidence actually demonstrates compliance. Gaps surface automatically, without manual review.
- Automated Supply Chain Monitoring: Risk visibility persists beyond the point-in-time assessment. Trust Chain enables custom evidence expiration schedules to automate evidence refresh requests so teams can act on emerging risks rather than discovering them at the next annual review.
Trust Chain is designed for enterprise organizations managing compliance across multiple subsidiaries and vendor ecosystems. Its flexible architecture enables compliance teams to not only publish and synchronize controls across subsidiary workspaces, but also define unique vendor requirements per the specific needs of each subsidiary. This gives enterprise compliance teams governance at scale without the operational overhead of managing separate tools per entity. Vendors submit existing compliance documentation once; Trust Chain’s AI handles validation, reducing the friction that historically causes assessment backlogs and vendor non-responsiveness.
Results from Trust Chain’s pilot program show vendor assessment completion rates more than double those of traditional questionnaire-based tools and a reduction of customer time spent on TPRM by 92%.
Availability
Trust Chain is available today for current Strike Graph customers. Full pricing begins at $7,500 for 25 vendors, with unlimited vendor access available at $30,000—a fraction of the cost of standalone TPRM tools, without the implementation complexity of enterprise GRC suites.
