Understanding PromptArmor

PromptArmor is an AI security company that helps organisations assess and monitor the risk created when their vendors add AI to their products. It is built for third-party risk, security, privacy and legal teams that have to approve vendors whose software now includes models, AI features and AI subprocessors.

The platform finds where each vendor uses AI, scores that use against a set of AI risk vectors and keeps watching the vendor base for changes. Its mission is “to protect organizations from the unique threats posed by AI systems”.

What PromptArmor Does

Vendors across the supply chain are adding AI, often quietly, and each change can bring cyber, privacy and legal exposure: a model provider receiving customer data, a new feature switched on by default, or a vendor starting to train on its customers’ content. Standard vendor questionnaires were not written for this, and risk teams struggle to keep up.

PromptArmor’s approach is to treat vendor AI as something to find, score and keep watching, rather than a questionnaire answered once at onboarding. Risk teams get evidence about each vendor’s actual AI use, mapped to frameworks they already report against, and are told when that use changes.

AI Vendor Risk (TPRM)

Third-party risk teams get a vendor report with AI-specific risk scores across 26 risk vectors in the cyber, privacy and legal domains. The vectors map to NIST AI RMF, the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs and MITRE ATLAS, so findings line up with frameworks the team already reports against. Reports can be run across the whole vendor portfolio rather than one vendor at a time.

Assessment By Team

Different reviewers care about different parts of a vendor’s AI, and the assessment splits accordingly:

InfoSecIndirect prompt injection risk across vendor AI assets, including injection that could lead to data exfiltration
Data privacyTraining-on-data defaults, AI subprocessor data flows and shadow IT
LegalTraining data opt-out policies, data retention obligations and AI subprocessor disclosures

Continuous Monitoring

Daily scans cover the vendor ecosystem and catch changes such as a vendor adding AI for the first time, enabling new AI features by default or beginning to train on customer data. Real-time alerts flag expanded data access and changes of model provider across the portfolio.

How It Works

Customers add vendor names and URLs to the hosted platform. The platform discovers each vendor’s AI, enriches the record, tags the risks and scores them, then feeds the daily scans that drive alerts back to the risk team.

ComponentWhat it does
AccessAn open API with real-time access and native connectors bring results into other tools, and sign-in uses SSO.
Data handlingVendor assessment data is kept only as long as needed to deliver the service, encrypted at rest and in transit, and isolated between customer environments.
