Certa for IT & Security
Vendor security risk, continuously — not once a year.
A SOC 2 from eighteen months ago tells you nothing about a vendor today. Point-in-time reviews, questionnaire chasing, and blind spots in your fourth-party tech stack leave InfoSec accountable for risk it can’t actually see. Certa turns vendor security into a continuous, automated posture — live ratings, AI-pre-filled assessments, and reassessments tuned to each vendor’s tier.
- Live security and financial signals between reviews — not just on the day the questionnaire came back
- AI pre-fills infosec and SOC 2 assessments from evidence you already hold
- Fourth-party and sub-processor dependencies surfaced before they become an incident

The problem
What slows IT & Security teams down
Vendor risk doesn’t pause between assessment cycles. Most security programs only look once a year — and the gaps add up fast.
Point-in-time reviews go stale
An annual security review captures one moment. The vendor’s posture can degrade the day after you sign off — and you won’t know until next year.
Chasing SOC 2s and questionnaires
Analysts burn weeks emailing vendors for SOC 2 reports, pen-test summaries, and DDQs — then manually re-keying evidence the platform could ingest automatically.
Blind to fourth-party & tech-stack risk
Your critical vendors depend on their own vendors. Shared cloud sub-processors and hidden dependencies create concentration risk no one mapped.
Every vendor treated the same
Without risk-based tiering, low-risk SaaS gets the same heavy review as a critical infrastructure provider — wasting capacity where it matters least.
How Certa helps

Outcomes for IT & Security
What continuous vendor security delivers
Live ratings and signals keep every vendor’s security posture current between formal reassessments
AI pre-fills infosec, SOC 2, and privacy assessments from evidence you already have — vendors answer less, your team learns more
Vendors auto-segmented by risk so enhanced due diligence and reassessment frequency go where they’re actually needed
Sub-processor and tech-stack dependencies mapped to surface concentration exposure before it becomes an incident
Connect to your existing security and IT stack so vendor risk lives where your team already works
Infosec & Cyber sits alongside the other six risk domains on a single platform — no more disconnected tools
Live security & financial signals
Your ratings feeds, continuously in context
Certa pulls live data from leading security and financial-ratings providers so vendor risk profiles stay current — not frozen at the last assessment.
Real results
Security teams that moved off the annual cycle
When vendor security risk is automated and continuous, the program gets faster and the team gets its time back.
