Know which vendors create AI exposure. Archways turns AI vendor readiness into an auditable workflow: identifying AI-enabled vendors, collecting missing evidence, assigning ownership and prioritizing action before approval, renewal or expansion. ​Use it when:
  • Mapping AI exposure across the software estate
  • Reviewing a vendor before renewal after they’ve added AI features
  • Evaluating new vendors on AI transparency
  • Reporting exposure to a board or risk committee
​What’s included:
  • AI vendor identification and use case mapping
  • Vendor evidence collection with gap analysis and audit trail
  • Recommended action per vendor — accept, request evidence, restrict or escalate — and executive reporting
​Why this matters now Vendors add AI features without announcing them. Archways surfaces which tools in the stack use AI, how they’re used, and what evidence is missing before the next renewal or approval — evidence that matters as EU AI Act obligations come into effect. ​Quick answers How does Archways know a vendor uses AI? Vendor profiles are continuously tracked for AI feature releases across the same 175,000+ vendor coverage Archways uses for capability and pricing signals, so AI exposure is surfaced without a manual survey of every vendor. What happens after a vendor is flagged for AI exposure? Each flagged vendor gets a recommended action — accept, request evidence, restrict or escalate — along with an audit trail of what evidence exists and what’s missing, ready for reporting to a board or risk committee.
