How Vendor.Watch Works
Factual vendor transparency data — collected, structured, and scored automatically. No opinions. No AI hallucinations. Just verifiable compliance facts.
Platform overview
Two-sided vendor transparency
Vendor.Watch serves two audiences. Businesses build a vendor portfolio and track compliance posture. Vendors claim their profile and self-report via a structured questionnaire.
For Businesses
Build your vendor portfolio, tag data flows with categories and purposes, set criticality levels, and export structured data to DPO Central or AI Sentinel.
For Vendors
Claim your profile via domain verification, complete a structured questionnaire once, and serve every future customer with a verified transparency badge.
Transparency scoring
9 factual data points. No opinions.
Each vendor gets a transparency score based on what they have disclosed — not subjective quality judgments. Points for having a DPA, trust center, certifications, subprocessors, and more.

Follow the data chain
Oregon SB 619 requires processors to disclose subprocessors. The EDPB mandates controller awareness of the full chain. We make it visible — from your vendor to their sub-sub-processors.
