The Intelligence Engine Behind Every Score

Three interconnected systems work together to transform raw data from 40+ sources into the clearest vendor risk picture in the industry.

Scoring Engine

The VendorIQ Score

Every vendor receives a single 0-100 score built from a weighted analysis of four risk dimensions. The methodology is transparent, the data is sourced, and every point is defensible in a boardroom.

What happened to Meridian Tech's compliance score last quarter?
Meridian's compliance score dropped from 86 to 79 in Q4 2025. Two factors drove the decline:

1. Their SOC 2 Type II certification expired Nov 15 and hasn't been renewed.
2. A DOJ civil investigation was opened regarding a 2024 government subcontract.

Sources: SAM.gov, PACER, SOC Reports Database
Should we flag this for the renewal committee?
Yes. I recommend flagging with medium urgency. The SOC 2 lapse alone triggers your org's vendor policy threshold. I can generate a risk summary for the committee if you'd like.
Vendor Matching

The R3 Matching Engine

When a vendor fails, you need alternatives fast. R3 — Replace, Reduce, Realign — finds qualified replacement vendors that match your requirements, risk tolerance, and compliance needs. No more starting from scratch.

Replace

Find direct replacements when a vendor's risk becomes unacceptable or a contract ends.

Reduce

Consolidate overlapping vendors to reduce portfolio complexity and total risk exposure.

Realign

Find vendors better aligned to evolving compliance, ESG, or capability requirements.
