The premise
AI can draft AI vendor due-diligence briefs that pull questions from your governance policy into a single review document for procurement.
What AI does well here
- Convert governance policies into vendor questionnaires aligned to risk tier
- Draft scoring rubrics that weight data residency and audit rights
What AI cannot do
- Verify the truth of vendor responses against their actual systems
- Decide which exceptions warrant a security architecture review
