What Is Third-Party AI Governance?

Third-party AI governance is the process of evaluating and overseeing AI systems provided by vendors, partners, or embedded in SaaS tools. It focuses on transparency, risk signals, regulatory exposure, and ongoing accountability for AI an organization doesn’t directly build or control.

The Third-Party AI Problem

Many of the most significant AI risks come from systems organizations don’t develop themselves:
  • AI capabilities are embedded in SaaS tools and vendor products with little documentation
  • Transparency and risk information vary widely and are hard to compare across vendors
  • Procurement and governance teams lack a consistent way to evaluate AI-specific risk
  • Ongoing oversight after purchase is limited or informal
  • When vendor AI creates problems, your organization owns the consequences
Without structured third-party AI governance, organizations inherit risk they can’t clearly see or defend.

How Trustible Helps You Govern Third-Party AI

Know What You're Actually Buying

Trustible applies standardized, expert-designed evaluations to every vendor and model, assessing transparency, governance practices, risk signals, and regulatory readiness before third-party AI is approved.

Catch What Manual Reviews Miss

Trustible uses AI-assisted analysis of vendor documentation, including privacy policies, terms of service, security materials, and trust pages, to surface gaps, ambiguities, and risk signals that spreadsheet-based reviews routinely overlook.

Evaluate Vendor AI the Same Way You Evaluate Internal AI

Trustible applies a unified risk and impact framework across internal and third-party AI, creating a shared language for evaluating risk regardless of where AI originates.

Keep Oversight Active After Approval

Trustible supports periodic reviews, reassessments, and status tracking as vendor usage expands, models change, or new obligations apply. Governance doesn’t end at onboarding.

Adapt as Vendors Evolve

Launch periodic reviews and executive visibility into vendor AI risk.
