ReportThe 2026 State of TPRMDownload

Stop taking your vendors' word for it. See how your workspace in each vendor application is configured.

Your vendors completed the questionnaire. They submitted the SOC 2. They checked every box. And somewhere in the six months since, a new integration went live, an admin account was never deprovisioned, and MFA got quietly disabled for a service account nobody remembered to check.Coverbase Inspect sends an AI agent into your workspace in each vendor's application with read-only access. It reviews the live settings the way a skilled analyst would, checks what is configured, and writes what it finds back into the vendor's risk profile as scored, timestamped evidence. No questions sent. No answers taken on trust. You see the live configuration, checked against the controls that already drive your assessments.

01 · Key capabilities

Inspect the environment, not the questionnaire.

01

Direct configuration review

Read-only access lets the agent inspect a vendor's actual settings, not a vendor-supplied screenshot or a self-attestation. What you see is the live state of the environment, captured the moment the inspection ran. Works on most SaaS applications your team can log into, including tools not covered by any SSPM library.

02

Security and access checks

Verify MFA enforcement, password policy, session controls, SSO enforcement, and admin sprawl. Surface over-permissioned accounts, dormant guest access, local authentication loopholes, and service account configurations that questionnaires never reach.

03

Integration and exposure mapping

Surface every third-party connector, API integration, and external sharing configuration active inside your workspace in the vendor's application. Understand what data is flowing, where it is going, and what was added since the last review, without asking the vendor.

Unsanctioned feature and drift detection

When a vendor ships a new feature, updates a default setting, or someone inside their team makes a change, Inspect catches it on the next run. Configuration drift surfaces between formal reviews, not six months later in an incident report.

Findings as evidence

Every check writes back to the vendor's risk profile as scored, timestamped evidence mapped to your control library. Findings feed directly into assessments, monitoring workflows, and escalation queues. You verify the control instead of trusting the claim.

02 · Benefits

Evidence you can stand behind.

  1. 01

    Verify, don't trust

    Replace self-reported answers with what is configured in the live environment at the moment you need to know.
  2. 02

    Works on most applications

    Not limited to a pre-approved list of integrations. The Inspect agent works on most SaaS applications your team can log into, including internally built tools and no-code applications.
  3. 03

    Findings, not raw data

    The agent interprets what it observes against your controls and surfaces the exceptions that matter, not a raw dump of configuration settings.
  4. 04

    No new busywork

    Inspections run automatically and write straight into the risk profile. No analyst has to watch it happen.
  5. 05

    Continuous, not one-time

    Re-inspect on a schedule so drift gets caught between reviews, not discovered in a breach post-mortem.
  6. 06

    Closes the TPRM loop

    Inspection evidence lives alongside questionnaires, contracts, and Radar monitoring signals. When an assessment runs, Inspect results are already there as a source of control evidence.
03 · How it works

Connect once. Inspect continuously.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Point Coverbase at the vendor's application using your SSO provider, OAuth, or a read-only credential from your password vault. No changes to the vendor's environment required.

    SSOOAuthvault credential
  2. 02

    Inspect

    The agent logs in and walks the application: security settings, access controls, integrations, external sharing, API configurations, and role distributions. It runs as a read-only process with no form submissions, no data writes, and a full audit trail of every action taken.

    ✓ Members✓ Security settingsIntegrations + data
  3. 03

    Surface

    Findings land in the vendor's risk profile as scored evidence mapped to your control library. Anomalies trigger workflows, flag reassessments, and route to the right reviewer automatically.

  4. 04

    Repeat

    Inspections run on a schedule. When something changes inside your workspace in the vendor's application, you see the change on the next scheduled run.

    Every 7 days · next run in 6d
04 · Proof points
“We used to take security questionnaires at face value. Now we can see how a vendor is actually configured before we sign.”
