The era of the static spreadsheet audit is over. We establish the first continuous, real-time standard for quantifying supply chain risk across the Defense Industrial Base.
Current risk scores rely on superficial scanning. They miss the Bill of Materials (BoM), internal policy, and real-time compliance status. When questionnaires fill the gap, vendors grade their own homework — and the results reflect it.
You know your vendors, but you don't know their vendors. We map the full BoM/SBoM tree to expose hidden risks.
Compliance is a point-in-time snapshot — what VCRI calls the Decay of Truth: audit findings begin expiring the moment they are filed. Traditional risk-to-action takes 6 months. VCRI surfaces it in 6 seconds. We move you to Continuous Operational Risk monitoring.
Every vendor speaks a different framework language — ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, NIST. The Secure Controls Framework (SCF) translates all 100+ compliance frameworks to a single master control library, making VCRI's scoring framework-agnostic for both vendors and customers.
The Institute is building the Risk Traffic Light Protocol. By ingesting SBoM, FBoM, and raw compliance data into a neutral, non-profit engine, we provide a normalized risk signal that the entire market can trust.
Updates as fast as the data changes. No more waiting for annual reviews.
A non-profit engine that protects sensitive vendor data while sharing the risk score.
Green means go. Red means stop shipment. Simple, operational decision support.
VCRI quantifies risk in dollars per business process — not abstract scores. The amount at stake, continuously updated as the threat landscape changes.
Vendors who earn a strong VCRI profile share it with every client on the platform. Answer once. Share everywhere. Questionnaire fatigue eliminated.
Regulatory Imperative
Global regulators are mandating continuous third-party risk monitoring — not annual checkboxes. VCRI is what compliance looks like in practice.
