AI Vendor Risk Assessment

Before you approve an AI tool for your organization, know exactly where it fails on HIPAA, SOX, and data sovereignty. One vendor. One structured report. A clear Go, Conditional Go, or No-Go verdict.

$997Per vendor · delivered in 48 hours · PDF report

Three gates. Nine criteria. Every finding sourced.

Every AVRA runs the same standard, in two layers.

The 3 gates — binary, checked first, matched to your industry

Healthcare

BAA availability

Fintech

Records retention and supervisory access

Legal

Third-party disclosure and confidentiality terms

Fail a gate, the verdict is No-Go

No score offsets it. A vendor with no BAA available at all doesn't get to look like a conditional pass because the rest of their paperwork is polished.

The 9 scored criteria — where it's a matter of degree, not disqualification

4 provenance fields on every finding

Source document, document type, date verified, verified by. Every line traces back to something you can hand a regulator or cite in a contract negotiation.

A clear verdict, not a list of maybes.

Every AVRA report closes with one of three verdicts, with conditions where applicable.

Go

Approved for use

Vendor meets all material criteria for your regulatory environment. Approved with standard usage controls.

Conditional Go

Approved with conditions

Vendor passes most criteria but has specific gaps. Report includes the contractual controls or usage restrictions required before approval.

No-Go

Not approved

Vendor fails one or more critical criteria. Report explains the specific disqualifiers and recommends alternatives where possible.

For teams building an AI tool registry — or reviewing one.

Buy first. No call, at any step.

Common questions

How many vendors does one report cover?

One vendor per report. If you need multiple vendors assessed, each is priced at $997. Contact us about bundle pricing for three or more vendors assessed simultaneously.

What if the vendor gets a Conditional Go?

The report specifies the exact conditions required — for example, "requires a signed HIPAA BAA before any PHI-adjacent use" or "restrict to internal tooling use only, no client data." These conditions are written to be usable directly in your vendor contract or internal usage policy.

Can I use the report in vendor contract negotiations?

Yes. The findings document specific gaps in the vendor's current offering, written to be handed to a vendor directly in a contract negotiation — BAA additions, data retention reductions, or deletion commitments.

What if I want all my current approved tools assessed?

If you're auditing an existing tool registry of 5+ tools, that may be better served by a full forensic engagement. Request a briefing to discuss scope and pricing.

Know before you approve.

$997 to document your due diligence is a small fraction of what one failed regulatory audit costs.
