Gartner Third-Party Cybersecurity Insights has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Guardial Third-Party Risk is a web module in Guardial’s AI-native GRC platform for regulated financial-services organizations. It keeps vendor records from onboarding through offboarding, including contracts, questionnaires, attestations, risk-score history, and responsible people. Expert-built questionnaires address SOC 2, business continuity and disaster recovery, information security, financial health, and regulatory matters. Teams can score responses, identify missing evidence, and reuse answers among vendors with shared parents. A renewal agent checks inventory daily, flags contracts renewing within 90 days, and drafts reviews for confirmation. Guardial says a person reviews every questionnaire before sending, while agents draft rather than act autonomously. Contract metadata can cover terms, renewals, audit rights, service levels, and data scope. Security features include role-based access and an immutable audit log; the maker says agents are not trained on customer data. Support replies within four business hours during business hours. Pricing is by proposal, with a free trial.
