Introducing SecurityScorecard AI Agents

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) demands time that most teams do not have. Most security teams spend several hours of their day conducting manual tasks, navigating page-by-page through vendor profiles, chasing down score drops, and manually compiling remediation plans. These workflows slow your team and limit your ability to reduce risk.

This isn’t just exhausting; it’s a strategic bottleneck. Every hour spent on a spreadsheet is an hour not spent on identifying and addressing critical vulnerabilities. With an increase in third-party attacks doubling over the past year it is now more important than ever for teams to catch critical vulnerabilities

This release addresses those limitations.

SecurityScorecard is pleased to announce the official release of 10 new SecurityScorecard AI Agents. These aren’t just chatbots; these AI agents execute defined TPRM workflows without manual intervention. They are autonomous assistants designed to handle the manual grind of traditional TPRM workflows. They analyze vendor data, identify risks, and support remediation planning in seconds. This allows you to reclaim your time and focus on what matters most: strategy and resilience.

Introducing 10 new AI Agents to accelerate your TPRM program

Why Manual Third-Party Risk Management Slows Security Teams

Monitoring critical vendors in traditional TPRM programs often relies on reactive processes. You receive an alert, you log in, you investigate the cause, and you manually draft an email to the vendor. SecurityScorecard’s AI Agents flip this script. They act as an extension of your team, executing complex workflows in seconds that used to take hours. You can identify and address risk before it escalates into a breach.

How AI Agents Automate Third-Party Risk Management Workflows:

We have three categories of agents: Analysis and Monitoring Agents, Breach Analysis Agents, and Remediation Planning Agents.

AI Agents for Analysis and Monitoring

Streamline your internal operations and make your data more portable with AI agents for data, reporting, and workflows.

• Reporting Agent: Transform complex metrics into line charts or trend graphs. Track portfolio health over time and export results as CSVs or images for your next board deck.
• Rule Builder Agent: Set up alert rules and monitoring for entire portfolios at once, replacing tedious manual configuration.
• Monitoring Agent: Set up alert for score drops and breach events for proactively monitoring vendors
• Questionnaire Gap Analysis Agent: In addition to sending questionnaires to vendors, you can leverage agents to analyze received responses to identify gaps and create follow-up requirements.

AI Agents for Breach Analysis

Leverage Breach Analysis Agents for your vendors as well as fourth party vendors with specialized AI agents for malware, ransomware, and supply chain risk.

• Downstream Breach Analyst (Automatic Vendor Detection): Gain an intuitive view of fourth-party risk. Understand how breaches at your vendors’ vendors impact your security posture.
• Malware & Ransomware Analyst: Conduct broad scans for infection events to identify high-risk areas before they escalate.

AI Agents for Remediation Planning

Close the gap between finding a risk and fixing it with AI agents for vulnerability monitoring and remediation plans.

• KEV Remediation Plan Agent: Quickly identify Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs) across your portfolio and draft vendor-facing emails for immediate outreach.
• Score Drop Remediation Agent: Instantly explain the “why” behind score fluctuations and outline specific corrective actions.
• Critical Vulnerability Agent: Scan your entire portfolio for general Common Vulnerabilities Exposures (CVEs) to prioritize your response.
• Breach Remediation Plan Agent: Pinpoint breach events and build a step-by-step recovery and communication plan.

How AI Reduces Vendor Review Time and Manual Effort

Efficiency is essential for scaling TPRM as vendor ecosystems grow and as AI changes threat actors’ calculus. By automating the repetitive parts of portfolio monitoring and vendor outreach, our AI agents are designed to save teams dozens of hours per month.

• Manual Task: Reviewing over 100 vendors for new ransomware infections. (Estimated: 2-3 hours)
• AI Agent Task with SecurityScorecard: “Show me which vendors in my ‘Critical’ portfolio have infection events from the last 30 days.” (Estimated: 30 seconds)

When you automate the “how,” you can finally focus on the “why”: You can shift from manual execution to measurable risk reduction. As one SecurityScorecard customer shared:

“The reporting and rule builder agents are immediate opportunities for us. By using AI to filter out the noise, we can make our monitoring significantly more relevant to what we actually need to see.”
