THE CHALLENGEManaging AI Risk You Can’t See

AI has exponentially increased the complexity of managing vendor risk.

Models, APIs, and data pipelines are now embedded deep within vendor systems, creating hidden exposure that traditional due diligence struggles to detect. These challenges include:

  • Limited Transparency: Vendors rarely disclose model design, data lineage, or governance, leaving you assessing a black box.
  • Manual Assessments: Questionnaires slow onboarding and yield subjective data that’s hard to compare.
  • Regulatory Pressure: Frameworks like NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act require verifiable evidence most vendors can’t provide.
  • Static Reviews: Annual audits miss model drift, retraining, and unpatched vulnerabilities that emerge after onboarding.

The result: Hidden AI risk doesn’t stay hidden for long. It accumulates silently until it surfaces as an audit failure, regulatory fine, or reputational hit.

THE CRANIUM SOLUTIONContinuous AI Vendor Assurance

Cranium’s AI governance suite extends your TPRM program into the AI layer, giving you the visibility, comparability, and evidence needed to govern AI risk at scale.

AI Cards: Standardized Risk Profiles

Cranium generates an AI Card for every vendor system — a standardized, verifiable profile that replaces subjective questionnaires with objective, auditable data points. Quickly compare vendors, prioritize reviews, and visualize your third-party AI exposure in one dashboard.

Automated Regulatory Mapping

Cranium benchmarks vendor AI systems against NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, and ISO/IEC 42001 to align vendor compliance with your governance standards. No manual crosswalks. No guesswork.

Continuous AI Monitoring

Once onboarded, each vendor’s AI Card updates dynamically as new vulnerabilities, retraining, or governance changes occur. Stay ahead of residual risk instead of reacting to it.

Audit-Ready AI Documentation

Each assessment generates audit-ready evidence with BOMs, compliance scores, and attestations prepared for regulators and auditors.
