As enterprises rush to capture value promised by AI adoption, getting buy-in from compliance is a necessary step and a vital protection. But it can also slow down the process.
Vendict, a LIFT Labs portfolio company, is aiming to change that with an AI-native platform built from the ground up for governance, risk, and compliance. Vendict helps vendors respond to security questionnaires in hours instead of weeks, and helps enterprises assess vendor risk without drowning in documents.
“It’s the most addressable solution I’ve seen in the last decade. It’s not just fast—it understands the ecosystem these questionnaires exist in.”
— Sean O’Leary, VP of Sales, Vendict
Fast Tracking Compliance
Vendict’s platform works in both directions. Sellers cut response time by up to 92%, according to Vendict’s internal data. Buyers can pre-verify vendor responses.
“You go from blasting vendors with 300 blank questions to saying, ‘we did 80% of the work—can you just fill in the rest?’” said O’Leary.
The payoff: sellers don’t lose out on deals because they can’t keep up with security paperwork, and buyers get a clearer, faster picture of risk—without sacrificing rigor.
Trained for Compliance
Vendict’s advantage lies in specialization. Vendict’s AI is trained on compliance documents like SOC 2s, internal policies, and vendor reports. It doesn’t just know the language of compliance—it understands the structure and reasoning behind it.
When a new questionnaire arrives, Vendict analyzes a company’s documentation, pulls relevant content, and generates responses rooted in existing policies. It doesn’t guess or improvise. If something’s unclear or missing, the system flags it for review and recommends ways to strengthen the response. That creates a dynamic feedback loop where compliance answers can be consistently adjusted.
For example, a cloud security company adopted Vendict’s automation solution after being overwhelmed by client questionnaires. Vendict significantly improved the speed and accuracy of its responses, helping ensure consistent compliance without overburdening its team.
Compliance That Evolves
Legacy systems rely on static answers yet compliance is anything but static. Cloud migrations, AI integrations, and software updates all introduce new risks. Vendict dynamically links responses to source materials, ensuring answers stay current—even as your infrastructure changes.
“If you’re answering a questionnaire in February, but you migrated infrastructure last April, you’re already out of date,” said O’Leary. “Vendict makes compliance continuous.”
Built for Complexity
As enterprises adopt more AI tools, it’s likely that diligence is only going to get more complicated. Questions about data privacy, model training, and documentation ownership are now standard. Meanwhile, compliance frameworks are constantly evolving: what’s required in one state may not align with the requirements in another.
Vendict’s architecture ensures auditability and data privacy. Customer data isn’t used for training, and clients can delete data at any time.
“It’s not just about speed,” said O’Leary. “It’s about building trust through transparency and precision at a time when compliance matters more than ever.”
