Fast-Track Vendor Onboarding — Powered by The Agency

Every week your vendor
security review takes
is a week your project doesn't move.

Five AI agents handle every step of vendor onboarding — from outside-in scan to signed approval pack — so your team's involvement is a single sign-off, not six weeks of emails. Calculate what your backlog is costing you.

💡

At 8 vendors/quarter with 6-week reviews, your team is spending serious time on process.

That's roughly 144 internal hours per quarter on vendor reviews alone — time your team could spend on higher-value work. The Agency handles every step automatically. Your team's involvement drops to a single approval per vendor.

The before and after

Weeks of manual effort
reduced to a single approval

The vendor review process hasn't changed in years. The Agency's five AI agents replace every manual step — your team reviews the output, not the process.

The standard process (weeks of your team's time)

Week 1: Security questionnaire sent to vendor. Waiting for response.

Week 2–3: Chasing vendor responses. Incomplete submissions. Follow-up emails.

Week 4: Internal review of questionnaire responses. Manual cross-checking.

Week 5–6: Gap remediation requests. Vendor pushback. Further delays.

Week 7–8: Approval documentation prepared. Sign-off obtained. Project unblocked.

Result: 18–80 hours of your team's time per vendor. Every quarter. Indefinitely.

Fast-Track Onboarding with The Agency (hours of agent work, one human approval)

REX — minutes: Outside-in scan runs automatically. Digital footprint, breach history, exposed services, fourth-party dependencies. Live baseline established before your team has opened their inbox.

TARA — minutes: Vendor tiered automatically — Critical, High, Medium, or Low. Low-risk vendors fast-tracked immediately. High-risk vendors get a targeted gap list. Zero manual risk assessment.

ARIA — hours: Reads the vendor's existing documentation — SOC 2, ISO 27001, security policies — and pre-populates the questionnaire from evidence already on record. The vendor receives a targeted, specific assessment. Not a 200-question form.

NOVA — automated: Sends the questionnaire and handles all chasing without human involvement. Your team never writes a follow-up email.

ARIA — hours: Responses analysed. Gaps mapped to controls. Approval documentation drafted and ready for sign-off.

Result: Your team's involvement is a single approval. The agents handled everything else.
