Where teams get stuck

Due Diligence Gets Done. Everything After It Stalls.

Without structure, decisions go undocumented, follow-ups slip, and reviewers get incomplete answers about your vendors.

Nobody Knows Where a Vendor Review Stands

Questionnaires go out by email, responses land in inboxes, and follow-ups get buried. There is no single view of progress.

Nobody Documented Why a Vendor Was Approved

A vendor was approved six months ago. When an auditor asks why, you rebuild the rationale from memory and email threads.

High-Risk Vendors Go Years without a Re-Review

Initial due diligence gets done, but annual re-reviews slip. Nobody owns the cadence, so follow-ups never happen.

This replaces email-based vendor reviews, undocumented approval decisions, and spreadsheet-based vendor registers.

Workflow

Five Steps from Intake to Recurring Re-Assessment

Every vendor review builds on the last. Recurring reviews reuse existing evidence and only refresh what changed.

01
Intake
Collect vendor context: data access, criticality, contract terms. Create a vendor profile.

02
Assess
Assign questionnaires and due diligence tasks. Track responses and flag gaps.
Due diligence record
03
Collect evidence
Attach SOC reports, certifications, and findings with source and timestamps.

04
Decide
Document approval decisions, required controls, and contract terms. Every decision is timestamped.

05
Review cadence
Set recurring reviews by risk tier. Track changes over time and flag when re-reviews are due.

Vendor reviews go from ad hoc to repeatable.

Common questions

Vendor Risk Questions We Hear Most

How do we tier vendors by risk?
Vendor profiles capture data access, criticality, and contract scope. Aurora assigns risk tiers based on your criteria and sets review cadence accordingly. High-risk vendors get reviewed more frequently.
Can we reuse vendor assessments in buyer questionnaires?
Yes. When buyers or auditors ask about your third-party risk program, you can share vendor profiles, due diligence records, and decision history through Trust Center without rebuilding the narrative each time.
How do recurring reviews work?
Each vendor has a review cadence based on risk tier. Aurora flags when re-reviews are due and tracks what changed since the last review. The existing evidence carries forward. You only refresh what is stale.
What happens when a vendor's risk changes?
Update the vendor profile with new findings or scope changes. Risk tier adjustments trigger updated review cadences. Decision history captures why the change was made and who approved it.

Aurora Command does not guarantee compliance outcomes. It helps you organize and document the work.
