Vendors & dependencies
Third-party providers stay part of an AI System's risk and evidence chain. Record them, assess them, and track changes that could invalidate earlier decisions.
- In the app
- Project → Discover & Register → Vendors
Record a vendor
- Choose Add Vendor, or rely on the project wizard, which adds each named provider automatically.
- The vendor page groups AI systems and dependencies, risk assessment, contract, DPA and evidence, findings, risks and incidents, and supplier change history.
- Use Add versioned vendor offering and Link a governed dependency to connect specific products and models to your AI Systems.
AI risk assessment
Open AI Risk Assessment, answer each question Yes, Partial or No, and choose Save assessment. A high-risk result creates a Risk. A missing DPA for a vendor that processes personal data creates a GDPR Article 28 finding.
Vendor changes
- 1Use Record vendor material change and give a source reference. The change waits for validation.
- 2When validated, AIGovernr opens a reassessment case for every dependent asset (due in 1 day if critical, otherwise 7) and moves active decisions to Review Required.
- 3Complete the reassessment and request a new decision where needed.
Continuous oversight shows provider concentration, assurance expiring within 90 days and observed changes across vendors.
