Tier-aware SIG variants
Critical vendors get the full 50-question SIG-Lite-Plus (with AppSec, Cloud, Privacy, AI, Insurance sections). Low-risk vendors get a 5-question SIG-Express. No more one-size-fits-none.
Argos Trust · AI vendor risk + managed assessments
Vendor risk shouldn’t
outlive the vendor.
Vendor questionnaires shouldn’t be a full-time job — and they shouldn’t be a one-off either. Argos Trust enrols every vendor once, maps every answer to the controls you’re audited against, probes weak answers with AI-generated follow-ups, and re-attests them automatically before risk drifts. All for $50 per vendor per year, managed — a fraction of what enterprise vendor-risk platforms charge.
What Argos Trust sells: continuity.
Most vendor tools sell the speed of intake — AI reviews responses, maps to controls, surfaces risks, then the vendor is filed away until next year. Argos Trust sells continuity — every vendor enrolled once, mapped to the controls your auditor checks, re-attested automatically, drift surfaced as it happens.
AI control mapper that probes
Claude Haiku reads every answer and maps it to CIS / NIST CSF / SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI / NYDFS / SMB1001 controls with confidence scores. Low confidence escalates to Sonnet automatically. The differentiator: it generates follow-up questions — “You said you encrypt at rest. What algorithm? Key rotation cadence? KMS provider?”
Day 3, 7, 14, 21 cadence
Reminders fire automatically. Gentle nudge at day 3. Second at day 7. Owner CC at day 14. Day 21 expires the engagement and raises a Risk Alert. Managed-tier customers get IA staff chasing the vendor at day 14 — you don’t.
Continuous reassessment
Annual re-attestation pre-loads the prior year’s answers so the vendor sees context. When something changes — especially when an answer gets shorter — we raise a Risk Alert. Drift surfaces before your auditor finds it.
Evidence vault, vendor-side uploads
Magic-link form accepts SOC 2 reports, pen test summaries, BCPs — anything. Backed by hardened object storage with 15-minute signed retrieval URLs. Token-gated. No IDOR.
Mapped to YOUR auditor’s controls
Argos Trust maps every answer to the exact controls your auditor is checking — not a generic taxonomy — because they live in the same platform as your own GRC posture. Vendor risk and compliance line up.

Same dark Argos polish you already get in Argos GRC, with a new sidebar group dedicated to vendor risk. Engagements, evidence vault, and risk alerts in one place.
The differentiator
Argos Trust doesn’t just review answers. It probes them.
When a vendor says “we encrypt data at rest,” most tools file it and move on. Argos Trust asks: what algorithm? key rotation cadence? KMS provider? offline backup retention? Those follow-up questions are queued as the next engagement — automatically. You spend time on judgment calls, not chasing the next round.

Self-Serve is included with your Argos GRC subscription — dispatch, AI mapping, reminders, reassessment, evidence vault, all of it. Argos Trust Managed is $50/vendor/year and includes IA vendor-ops staff running the workflow on your behalf with a 2-business-day onboarding SLA and a monthly risk report — a fraction of what enterprise vendor-risk suites charge for the same outcome.
