VISO TRUST Secures Another $7M in Funding
VISO TRUST is making waves again.
The AI-powered third-party risk management (TPRM) pioneer just announced an additional $7 million in funding, bringing its total capital raised to $24 million.
With a stellar lineup of both returning and new investors—Bain Capital Ventures, Work-Bench, and Cisco Investments, to name a few—this round underscores growing confidence in VISO TRUST’s mission to redefine vendor risk management.
Let’s face it, third-party risk management isn’t the flashiest corner of cybersecurity.
But VISO TRUST has transformed it into something... well, exciting.
Their AI-driven platform has made it possible for companies like Upwork, Notion, and Instacart to reduce vendor onboarding time by up to 90%.
That’s right: what used to take hours can now be wrapped up in minutes, and entire assessments? Done in a swift 5-7 days.
It’s a leap forward that Paul Valente, CEO of VISO TRUST, is understandably thrilled about.
“We’re excited to assemble a set of complementary and deep tech investors to advance our mission of transforming third-party risk management,” Valente said. “This funding will enable us to accelerate the innovation of our platform, creating a robust ecosystem that integrates security intelligence and aligns with today’s complex business workflows.”
So, what’s driving all this excitement? VISO TRUST’s platform doesn’t just automate—it elevates.
Instead of drowning security teams in endless manual assessments, it delivers real-time, evidence-based insights by analyzing everything from control presence to Nth-party references.
And while most tools might trip up vendors with clunky processes, VISO TRUST has achieved a staggering 98% vendor adoption rate.
It’s seamless, it’s effective, and according to Cisco Investments’ Janey Hoe, it’s the future of risk governance.
“VISO TRUST’s platform reshapes governance, risk, and compliance,” Hoe noted, adding that it enables organizations to manage evolving cyber risks with agility in today’s digital landscape. “As part of Cisco’s AI Fund, we are excited to help accelerate VISO TRUST’s mission to enhance security intelligence and real-time monitoring capabilities for enterprises worldwide.”
And that’s not all.
Beyond streamlining assessments, VISO TRUST’s platform dives into next-gen monitoring, pulling intelligence from breach advisories, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and even SEC filings.
The result?
Enterprises can respond faster to threats, stay ahead of compliance demands, and make smarter decisions in a world where risks evolve at lightning speed.
This funding round isn’t just about scaling operations—it’s about shaping the future of TPRM.
By doubling down on their artifact-based approach, VISO TRUST aims to create an adaptable AI governance framework that tackles real risks head-on.
It feels like only the beginning for a company already setting industry benchmarks.
As enterprises grapple with the ever-expanding web of third-party relationships, tools like VISO TRUST’s aren’t just helpful—they’re essential.
With this latest infusion of funding, VISO TRUST is poised to continue leading the charge, proving that even in the often-overlooked world of TPRM, innovation can be a game-changer.
And honestly, who doesn’t love a good underdog success story?
