Most TPRM programs end at approval. But, the real risk starts after that.

Work doesn’t wait for the next audit. Employees invite collaborators, connect new integrations, turn on AI features. The vendor changes sub-processors and ships new products on its own schedule.

So what should “approved” actually mean, when the thing you approved keeps changing?

🎙️ Join Russell Spitler, CEO and co-founder of Nudge Security and guest Ed Amoroso of TAG Infosphere for a discussion around how third party risk has changed with modern work.

Gartner's read on the state of enterprise AI governance: traditional approaches are too slow, static, and fragmented to keep pace with the volume, velocity, and autonomy of modern AI systems.

Most enterprises have invested heavily in both AI security and AI governance. The gap between those two investments is where the exposure actually lives.

Gartner evaluated platforms built to solve that. Airia ranked #1 in AI Security in the 2026 Critical Capabilities for AI Governance Platforms by putting governance controls directly in the execution path of AI systems, not alongside them.
