CC9.2 — Risk Mitigation Through Vendor Management

AICPA Trust Services Criteria CC9.2 requires organizations to assess and manage risks associated with third-party service providers. ThirdProof automates this assessment across 23 intelligence sources and produces evidence statements in the exact language SOC 2 auditors expect.

ThirdProof uses a deterministic rules engine to assign risk tiers. AI writes the narrative — rules drive the decision.
