For small and mid-sized businesses

Vendor risk management that fits an SMB budget.

Q: How much does vendor risk management software cost for a small business?

Enterprise TPRM platforms typically start in the tens of thousands per year and assume you have a dedicated risk analyst. RiskBee is delivered through your IT or security provider on a per-client subscription, so a small business pays a small monthly fee rather than an enterprise licence. Request access and we will confirm pricing for your business.

Q: Does a small business actually need third-party risk management?

If you hand customer data, payroll, finances or system access to other companies, you carry their risk. Most SMB security incidents now arrive through a supplier, and cyber insurers, enterprise customers and frameworks like Essential Eight, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 all ask for a vendor register with evidence behind it.

Q: Can we just use a spreadsheet for vendor risk assessments?

A spreadsheet records answers but never verifies them, never reminds you about renewals, and goes stale within a quarter. RiskBee keeps the register current automatically: it discovers the SaaS your staff already signed up for, pulls public security evidence, checks uploaded documents and re-scores vendors when something changes.

Q: How long does a vendor assessment take?

Minutes, not weeks. You enter a vendor domain, the AI intake agent builds the profile, gathers public security and legal evidence, and recommends approve, follow up or waive. You review and decide.

Q: Can we get started without an in-house IT team?

Yes. Request access and we will get you set up, whether or not you already work with an IT or security provider.

Know which suppliers hold your data, whether their security holds up, and when the contract renews. No $30,000 enterprise platform, no spreadsheet that dies after a quarter, and no need for a full-time risk analyst.

Set up in minutes, priced for a small business.

The cost-effective middle ground

Most vendor risk tools are priced for banks. The alternative is a spreadsheet nobody maintains. RiskBee is built for the gap in between.

Enterprise TPRM platform

Tens of thousands per year

Built for a risk team you do not have. Months of configuration before value.

Spreadsheet and email

Free, then expensive

Nothing verified, nothing reminded, out of date the week after you build it.

RiskBee via your provider

A small monthly subscription

What you get

Everything a small business actually needs to answer "are our suppliers safe?" - and nothing built for a 200-person compliance department.

Find the vendors you forgot

Connect Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and RiskBee surfaces the SaaS your team already signed into, including free-tier tools nobody expensed.

AI does the paperwork

Enter a domain and the intake agent builds the vendor profile, pulls trust-centre and legal evidence, and recommends a decision. You approve it.

Evidence that is actually checked

Upload a policy, SOC 2 or DPA, or paste a link. RiskBee reads the document, confirms it matches the vendor, and flags gaps instead of ticking a box.

A plain A to F risk grade

Every vendor gets a score you can explain to a director in one sentence, weighted for how you actually use the tool rather than an enterprise checklist.

Contracts and renewals in one place

Renewal dates, billing cadence, free-tier flags and obligations tracked so nothing auto-renews on you and reviews happen on schedule.

See who your vendors rely on

Sub-processor mapping shows the fourth parties behind your suppliers, so one outage or breach can be traced across your whole stack.

See every tool your team signed up for

Connect Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and RiskBee lists the SaaS already in use, including the free-tier tools nobody expensed.
