Why Azanzi Stands Out Among Third-Party Risk Management Solutions

The complexity of third-party ecosystems is increasing—but most tools still treat vendor risk management as a one-size-fits-all exercise.

For security, compliance, and procurement leaders, that’s a problem. Managing risk effectively today means more than ticking off standards like ISO or NIST. It requires tools that adapt to your operating environment, reflect your industry obligations, and give you control over how risk is assessed, scored, and prioritised.

Azanzi was built in direct response to that need. Here’s how it delivers the control, flexibility, and visibility that other platforms often leave behind.

Fully Customisable Questionnaires

Most supply chain risk software limits you to fixed frameworks—ISO, NIST, or other standards—with no real customisation. You can’t usually alter the intent of the questions, can often only remove them and therefore businesses are limited with the standardised framework provided.

Azanzi is different. We provide a rich library of international and sector-specific templates, from financial services and FCA regulations to MedTech and legal frameworks. Even better: you can tailor each questionnaire, adjust wording, add new sections, and apply weighting mechanisms to highlight the controls you care about most. It’s not just more powerful—it’s entirely under your control. Azanzi even caters for multiple different assessments to be created for different types of suppliers.

Weighted Scoring for Real Risk Priorities

Not all questionnaire responses are created equal. A “yes” isn’t enough—especially when vendor compliance can make or break your business.

With Azanzi, every question can be weighted. Have a critical security control? Assign it higher significance. Rate each supplier response for completeness and quality while also recording your justification. This creates meaningful compliance scoring, grounded in your own priorities. No more generic pass/fail metrics—only tailored assessments that reflect actual risk.

Each assessment build can also have different criteria of compliance set to highlight the riskier supplier in the chain.

Transparent Compliance and Impact Visualisation

Effective supply chain risk management solutions need to do more than collect answers—they must turn insights into action. Azanzi’s supplier onboarding process captures not only security posture but also vendor-criticality: how essential they are to your business, what is the impact if they have a breach and what data they handle.

Our dashboard overlays these two dimensions—impact and compliance—highlighting high-risk vendors that require urgent attention. This saves risk and procurement teams from endlessly digging through spreadsheets. Instead, they get clear, prioritised visibility in one view.

Secure, In-Platform Communication

Clarity is critical—and chasing vendor emails is inefficient and insecure. That’s why Azanzi includes a built-in, encrypted messaging system. Ask suppliers questions, request additional evidence or clarity, or flag high-priority issues—all while keeping the conversation aligned directly with the questionnaire.

This ensures traceability and security, with no communications floating outside the platform. You decide who needs to see what, and every interaction remains compliant and audit-ready.

Growth-Friendly, Transparent Pricing

Scaling with traditional platforms often means hidden costs. Many suppliers are charging per user or per vendor, pricing that can discourage proper roll-out and vendor coverage.

Azanzi breaks free from that model. Our pricing isn’t tied to user counts or supplier numbers—it’s built to scale. Whether you’re onboarding five or five hundred vendors, the platform adapts without jaw-dropping cost increases. It’s a transparent, flexible model that supports enterprise growth and protects smaller, resource-constrained teams. As pricing is based on the number of assessments made and not the number of suppliers added, all suppliers can be uploaded to Azanzi, set up and then prioritised without immediate cost. You can align your approach to your budget and work through your list based on supplier priority. .

Data Sovereignty You Can Trust

You need peace of mind around data protection. Many platforms host data in jurisdictions that have legislation that can compel disclosure to foreign governments.

Azanzi is EU/UK-based from top to bottom. Your data resides on EU/UK servers, protected by local legislation. What’s more, Azanzi’s operations are wholly independent—no foreign headquarters means no foreign pressure to release your sensitive information. A crucial reassurance for companies requiring real data sovereignty and regulatory confidence.

Flexible, User-Centred Design

Too many competing third-party risk management solutions rely on glossy visuals and diagrams while failing to deliver flexibility. They aren’t built to evolve with customer needs.

Azanzi stands out here. From day one, we’ve been responsive to customer feedback. Need a new weighting system? We build it. Require a different compliance framework? We support it. Want new workflow notifications? We deliver them. What you see—and use—is real, robust, and continuously enhanced through user collaboration.

Tailored for Mid-Size to Enterprise

A full-featured TPRM system shouldn’t be just for large enterprises. Yet many providers focus solely on larger organisation-style pricing, out growing mid-market teams.

Our flexible architecture and transparent pricing enable small to medium organisations to get full-featured third-party risk management software—without paying enterprise premiums. Implementation is fast, adoption is smooth, and ROI is clear.
