Inventory your vendors, track their security posture, send and score questionnaires, and keep contracts and reviews in one place — so supply-chain risk is something you monitor continuously, not remember once a year.
Your vendors are part of your attack surface. TATER keeps a register of who they are, how they score, what they answered on their last assessment, and when they're due for review — with security ratings and questionnaire results tied to each one, so a risky vendor stands out before it becomes an incident.
One inventory of every third party, its criticality, and the data it touches — the foundation for everything else.
Track each vendor's security posture over time, so a slipping rating surfaces before a renewal, not after a breach.
Send, collect, and score security questionnaires, with a knowledge base to speed the answers your team sends too.
Track contract terms and review due-dates so no critical vendor drifts past its reassessment window.
Score competing vendors against weighted criteria, compare candidates side by side, and award the winner — which creates the vendor record and carries the evaluation across as its own justification. How RFP evaluation works
