Cranium Third-Party and Vendor Risk Teams The Challenge

THE CHALLENGEOpaque Vendor AI

Your AI supply chain is only as strong as its weakest vendor, but most vendors can’t fully explain how their models were trained, tested, or governed. Compliance mapping to frameworks like the NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act Act can be subjective, leaving gaps in oversight. A single vulnerability hidden in a vendor’s AI system can cascade through your entire ecosystem, creating systemic exposure.

THE SOLUTIONAI Risk Transparency

Cranium automates third-party AI risk management with AI Cards—a standardized, credit-score style profile for each vendor’s AI system. Share vendor insights across your organization with Cranium’s AI Cards, allowing your team to:

Score and Benchmark Vendor Compliance

Cranium evaluates third-party AI systems against regulatory frameworks such as the NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act, as well as your internal governance policies. Each vendor receives a standardized, credit-score style rating that enables easy comparison, prioritization of remediation, and defensible evidence for compliance.

Automate Attestations and Evidence

Cranium eliminates the need for spreadsheets and questionnaires by automatically generating attestations and audit-ready documentation for every AI system. Records are continuously updated and versioned, giving you defensible proof for regulators, boards, or customers without manual overhead.

Continuously Monitor Vendor Risks

Cranium provides ongoing monitoring to identify vulnerabilities, model drift, or compliance changes across your vendor ecosystem. This proactive approach ensures risks are caught and addressed before they can impact your enterprise.
