Feature · Vendor contract intelligence

Bring contracts and clauses into vendor AI governance

SentinelAI tracks vendor contracts and their clauses, scores clauses for missing data-protection and SLA terms, alerts on contracts within 90 days of expiry, and pairs with a dynamic, versioned due-diligence questionnaire builder.

What this area covers

Vendor contract intelligence extends vendor governance into the contractual layer. It records contracts and clauses, evaluates them for gaps in key terms, and keeps expiry and due-diligence work on a clear schedule so contractual exposure is managed alongside vendor risk.
