Third-party risk is where security programs quietly leak coverage, and onboarding is the worst of it. The documents exist but sit scattered across Sheets and Docs, disconnected from the vendor back-and-forth, and the process depends on someone manually chasing email threads. Vendors slip through unexamined the moment that person is busy, and this walkthrough shows how Axari closes that loop.
Axari connects to the systems where the work already happens and assigns the workflow to a dedicated worker: Jason, a vendor risk analyst. Out of the box, Jason carries six responsibilities across the onboarding lifecycle:
- Detecting new vendors as they appear and kicking off due diligence.
- Fetching the information and documents needed to assess them.
- Handling follow-ups and requesting approvals to keep the process moving.
Once activated, Jason runs autonomously inside the channel most onboarding actually happens in: email. The cycle runs on its own:
- A vendor sends their details and documents, and the worker monitors the thread, fetches the information, and runs it against the existing questionnaire.
- It poses follow-up questions based on the gaps, then waits for the vendor's reply.
- When the vendor responds, it surfaces a full assessment, flagging gaps, suggesting the next round of questions, and requesting approval.
- One click sends the follow-up, and the loop continues, with everything stored for ongoing monitoring and contract-alignment checks.
The strategic win isn't automating email, it's that the assessment, evidence, and follow-up trail finally live in one place instead of dissolving into an inbox. Axari makes vendor diligence happen by default, instead of depending on whoever remembers to chase it.
