Vanta To Buy Riskey For Transforming Vendor Risk With AI-Based Monitoring

By Amit Chowdhry • Jul 18, 2025

Vanta, a leading AI-based trust management platform, has acquired Riskey, an innovator of real-time monitoring of third- and fourth-party risks. This integration enhances Vanta’s Vendor Risk Management (VRM) by replacing static assessments with continuous, AI-driven risk intelligence.

Riskey’s technology, co-founded by Koren Molcho, Yoav Dagan, and Eldar David, monitors vulnerabilities, breaches, and misconfigurations, providing actionable insights to security teams. With this integration, Vanta VRM customers can:

  1. Conduct comprehensive vendor assessments.

  2. Streamline risk management through automated security artifact collection.

  3. Continuously monitor vendors for changes and receive real-time alerts.

  4. Focus on significant threats through AI-driven insights.

This acquisition reinforces Vanta’s leadership in automated risk management. Organizations using Vanta report a 526% ROI and save over $500,000 annually by reducing third-party risk and streamlining audits. The newly launched Vanta AI Agent further enhances efficiency by managing workflows in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and proactively addressing issues while keeping teams informed.

KEY QUOTES:

“The traditional model of vendor risk reviews—annual questionnaires and lagging scores—no longer meets the pace or scale of today’s threat landscape. By integrating Riskey and Vanta, we’ve unlocked continuous vendor risk monitoring which lets customers identify threats proactively and take action immediately to protect company assets. Most exciting for us is that we’ve already added Riskey’s technology into Vanta and are getting it in the hands of customers today.”

Jeremy Epling, Chief Product Officer, Vanta

“The pain in the current vendor risk market is deep and profound. Customers are drowning in vendor data with no clear signal on what’s relevant or actionable. Combining Riskey’s monitoring technology into Vanta’s VRM offering is an absolute game changer. We’re incredibly excited to join this team and bring even more value to customers, together.”

Koren Molcho, CEO and co-founder, Riskey

“Vanta’s vendor risk monitoring is a great platform for both our CISO and CIO, especially when validating vendors during onboarding as well as continuous vulnerability assessments.”
