Vendor governance workflows

Understand how SentinelAI can support due diligence and oversight for third-party AI providers and external services.

Overview

Vendor governance helps organizations keep a structured record of third-party AI relationships, due diligence materials, and follow-up actions. It is useful when oversight depends on more than internal model development alone.

This page is part of the public SentinelAI documentation layer. It is meant to accelerate orientation and evaluation while staying aligned with the product’s governance-focused positioning and messaging guardrails.

Vendor inventory

Maintain a current record of providers, services, ownership, and review status so vendor oversight is visible alongside other governance domains.

Due diligence support

Use vendor workflows to centralize evaluation notes, evidence requests, decision history, and unresolved follow-ups.

Cross-functional review

Vendor governance often spans procurement, security, risk, legal, and technical stakeholders. The goal is to give these groups a shared workspace rather than a fragmented review chain.
