VeloIQ™ Third-Party Risk & FFIEC Matrix — Vendor Risk Caught Before It Becomes an Exam Finding

Every vendor's tiering, risk assessment, SOC 2 report, and DORA ICT register status tracked from onboarding to contract renewal. A risk-committee escalation alert fires automatically the moment a residual risk score crosses into the high threshold or a Tier-1 vendor's SOC 2 report lapses — not discovered during the next exam cycle.

A guided tour of Third-Party Risk & FFIEC Matrix

Every user journey, the dashboard, and the AI Management Console — walked end to end.

From vendor onboarding to risk-committee escalation — one platform

A single platform for bank third-party risk teams — connecting the vendor inventory, risk assessments, SOC 2 reports, DORA ICT assessments, contracts, SLA metrics, incidents, and risk exceptions.

🏦

Who it’s for

Chief Risk Officers, Heads of Vendor Risk Management, and CISOs at regulated banks and financial institutions.

⚙️

Unlimited-user risk layer

Vendor risk analysts log vendors, assessments, and compliance artifacts directly — unlimited users, no per-seat cost, no core banking integration required.

🧠

AI analytics for the decision-maker

The CRO queries which Tier-1 software vendors have not submitted an updated SOC 2 report this year in plain English.

Every module a bank vendor risk team needs, pre-built

Purpose-built data models, workflows, and views — generated by the VeloIQ™ framework and refined for the vertical.

Vendor Inventory & Tiering

Vendor tier, category, criticality rating, DORA ICT scope, and annual spend tracked per third-party relationship.

FFIEC Risk Assessments

Inherent and residual risk scoring against reference frameworks (FFIEC, DORA, SOC 2, internal), with mitigating controls and reassessment cadence.

SOC 2 Report Review

Report type, audit period, auditor's opinion, exceptions noted, and review-cadence status — every field a due-diligence review actually checks.

DORA ICT Third-Party Register

Criticality classification, concentration risk, exit-strategy documentation, and resilience testing — the DORA register fields regulators expect.

Contracts & SLA Monitoring

Renewal terms, termination notice periods, and measured SLA performance against contracted targets, with an automatic performance-gap calculation.

Incidents & Risk Exceptions

Vendor-attributed incidents with financial impact, and a formal risk-acceptance/exception workflow for vendors that exceed the standard risk appetite.

Deployable on day one

VeloIQ™ Third-Party Risk & FFIEC Matrix ships as a complete, working application — not a template you still have to build.

📦

Pre-bundled & seeded

Arrives with realistic sample data (10 vendors, 4 risk frameworks, 14 risk assessments, 9 SOC 2 reports, 7 DORA ICT assessments, 10 vendor contracts, 14 SLA metrics, 8 incidents, 5 risk exceptions) plus a clean production-ready database. Explore instantly, then switch when you go live.

💬

Pre-configured NL analytics

5 pre-configured NL chats with 28 sample sentences — vendors & risk assessments, SOC 2 & DORA compliance, and contracts & incidents (native), plus risk committee escalations and SLA/contract renewal planning AI assistants (agentic).

Runs out of the box

One veloiq run and the full application is live: REST API, React frontend, admin back-office, and AI console — all on your own infrastructure.

Tested & verifiable

Automated smoke, regression, and licensing suites ship with the app, including checks that residual risk scores and SOC 2 expirations trigger risk-committee escalation correctly against real seeded data.

Turn vendor risk into a managed, examinable process

Measurable outcomes for every role — from the vendor risk analyst to the CRO.

🛡️

High-risk vendors caught before the exam

Every risk assessment's residual score is checked automatically — a vendor crossing into the "high" threshold is flagged for escalation, not discovered during the next regulatory exam.

⚖️

Stale due-diligence artifacts surfaced early

A Tier-1 vendor's expired SOC 2 report is visible immediately and drives automatic escalation — not buried in a shared drive.

🚧

Risk-committee escalation, automated

IQVigilant's Exception Management watches for high residual risk and lapsed Tier-1 SOC 2 reports, with a 1-user free-tier Natural Language license included.

📄

No more spreadsheet vendor tracking

The single most common acute pain point for bank vendor risk teams — a spreadsheet of SOC 2 expiration dates — replaced with a real, queryable system of record.

📋

ROI in one CSV upload

Prospects can upload a year of past vendor risk assessment history via the Data Import Engine to see immediately where coverage gaps existed.

🏛️

DORA and FFIEC in one view

A vendor's ICT criticality classification and resilience testing sit alongside their risk score and SOC 2 standing — one record, not three separate systems.
