For security & CISOs

Vet the vendor's risk before it becomes your incident.

Most security reviews happen after the business has already chosen the vendor. Benchside surfaces the data-handling, sub-processor, and compliance gaps a proposal glosses over, before the contract locks them in.

The problem

Security review happens too late

By the time it reaches your desk, the vendor is effectively chosen.

Proposals omit the hard questions

Data residency, sub-processors, breach notification, and audit rights are rarely volunteered.

AI vendors break the old playbook

Training-data rights, model drift, and explainability aren't in a standard security review.

What you get

  • Security and compliance questions surfaced before the decision, not after.
  • Data-handling, sub-processor, and breach-notification clause coverage.
  • EU AI Act / GDPR exposure flagged for AI vendors.
  • Audit-rights and data-on-exit clauses you can hold the line on.
