Your vendors change.
Scout never blinks.

Scout is AI-native third-party risk management. Assessments still matter, but Scout goes further, using AI to map each vendor’s subprocessors and technical connections into a live exposure rating and the blast radius if they’re breached.

Watching every vendor, every day Security postureVulnerabilitiesBreachesFinancial healthData residencyConcentration

A passed assessment is a snapshot. Vendors get breached, certs lapse, and a critical CVE lands, and you find out from the news. Scout watches all of it, on every vendor, and shows you exactly what's at stake.

A vendor uploads a SOC 2.
Watch Hudson read it.

When a vendor uploads their SOC 2, or any document, from pen-test reports and ISO certificates to completed questionnaires, Hudson extracts the controls, writes the summary, surfaces the sub-processors and data connections buried in the appendices, and drafts the findings, in seconds, not hours. Hit Analyze to try it.

Hudson analysis
Northwind shows strong access management and encryption, but runs no formal vendor-risk program and discloses a one-week breach-notification window, both material for a vendor handling banking data.
Suggested sub-processors 3 found

MediumSecurity Governance
No formal risk management program

Northwind lacks a documented risk program despite handling sensitive banking data, leaving gaps in how risk is identified and mitigated.

MediumIncident Response
Breach notification window exceeds best practice

A one-week notification timeline far exceeds the 24 to 72 hours expected of a payment processor, slowing customer and regulatory response.

Never
stop watching.

Scout keeps scoring each vendor's external posture, SSL, DNS, breach exposure, CVEs, and names the most likely attack path the moment it shifts.

Hudson’s read writing…

External posture is solid, with valid certs and no exposed admin surfaces.

One medium finding: SPF is soft-fail. Two new sub-processors this quarter.

No breach signals in 90 days.

A plain read on every vendor

Hudson grades each vendor in plain language, surfaces the alerts worth reviewing, and stays a click away for follow-ups.

When a critical provider has an outage, Scout shows exactly which vendors go down with it, so your blast radius is never a surprise.

A vendor passes diligence, then quietly drifts. Scout keeps watch on the six things that change, across every vendor, continuously.

Northgate just disclosed a breach. Are we exposed?
Hudson
Yes. Northgate is a sub-processor for 3 vendors in your portfolio, and two of them touch production identity data. Here is what I found.
What is exposed
  • Okta uses Northgate for SSO. Production identity data is in scope.
  • Snowflake lists Northgate as a sub-processor in their SOC 2 (appendix C).
  • Plaid shares Northgate as a fourth-party CDN edge.
Recommended actions, drafted and ready to dispatch:
Email Okta security for breach-impact confirmation
Open a finding on Snowflake sub-processor exposure
Notify the IR channel in Slack

Every assessment makes the next one faster.

Vendors maintain one shared trust profile, so adding a vendor builds on trust already established, and every review makes the network smarter.
