Certa’s “TPRM by Exception” approach uses AI to transform third‑party risk management from a manual, questionnaire‑heavy process into an automated, intelligence‑driven program.
The document explains how Certa AI prioritizes internal, external, and publicly available data to pre‑fill due diligence questionnaires, validate evidence, review contracts, and monitor insurance coverage. As stated in the document, this method “leverages all available internal and externally available information first, leaving only items requiring human decision or intervention,” ensuring teams focus only on true exceptions.
Certa AI also delivers continuous monitoring by screening sanctions and PEP lists, mapping vulnerabilities to SOC 2 and ISO evidence, and uncovering hidden fourth‑party dependencies. Automated SLA tracking and AI‑generated remediation plans enforce performance and accelerate issue resolution. The paper highlights Certa Design Studio, which enables no‑code workflow creation and dynamic, risk‑based questionnaires that adapt to each third party.
Key outcomes cited include 50% lower operational costs, 80–90% faster assessments, 300% faster onboarding, and improved compliance oversight through real‑time alerts and automated updates. Overall, the document positions Certa’s AI‑driven TPRM OS as a scalable, proactive solution that enhances security, compliance, and resilience while reducing manual workload and accelerating decision‑making.
