Vendor Verification Process

Every vendor is reviewed against public documentation, trust centers, and contract evidence before classification.

Editorial Independence Statement

VNDRIQ classifications are independent of vendor relationships. Ratings reflect available evidence and governance risk only.

Registry Update Policy

The registry is reviewed on a monthly cycle. All updates are editor-reviewed before publication; no automated public data changes.

Editorial Methodology

Vendors are evaluated across compliance, security, AI governance, and enterprise readiness. Each review follows a standardized 12-point checklist covering website, HIPAA, BAA, security, compliance, AI capabilities, deployment, pricing, product changes, ownership, integrations, and documentation.
