AI Vendor / Third-Party Governance Service
The AIGN service for AI vendors, SaaS providers, technology partners and third-party suppliers that need to prove responsible AI Governance to enterprise buyers, procurement teams, compliance functions and boards.
Enterprise buyers no longer ask only what your AI can do. They ask whether it can be trusted.
AI vendors are entering procurement processes where legal, compliance, risk, security, data protection and business owners all ask different questions. Without structured governance evidence, even strong products can lose deals, delay onboarding or appear immature in enterprise risk assessments.
Vendor questionnaires are becoming harder.
Enterprise customers increasingly expect clear answers on AI use cases, data flows, model oversight, human control, documentation, monitoring and regulatory exposure.
AI trust is now part of sales.
AI vendors can no longer rely only on product claims, technical demos or privacy statements. Buyers want structured proof that governance exists in practice.
Unclear governance slows procurement.
When AI governance is not documented, every buyer must perform their own review. This creates friction, delay and avoidable deal risk.
AIGN turns vendor governance into a visible trust asset.
The AI Vendor / Third-Party Governance Service assesses whether a vendor can demonstrate responsible AI Governance across governance structure, risk management, documentation, data use, oversight, accountability and customer transparency. Successful vendors may receive the AIGN Vendor Trust Label.
Evidence-based.
Defensible.
The label is designed for AI vendors that want to show customers, investors, procurement teams and partners that AI Governance is not just promised — it is structured, reviewed and evidenced.
Vendor Governance Assessment
Structured review of the vendor’s AI systems, governance setup, responsibility model, documentation and risk controls.
Evidence Review
Assessment of policies, model documentation, data protection logic, human oversight, risk records, customer-facing documentation and escalation processes.
AI Governance Risk Profile
Clear classification of governance maturity, customer exposure, regulatory relevance and enterprise readiness.
AIGN Vendor Trust Label
Where requirements are met, AIGN grants a vendor-facing trust label with a defined validity period and review logic.
What AIGN reviews before a vendor can carry the label.
The assessment is not a marketing badge. It is a structured governance review aligned with the expectations of enterprise buyers, third-party risk teams and responsible AI oversight.
AI System Transparency
What AI is used, where it is embedded, what it does and how customers are informed.
Data & Input Governance
How data is collected, processed, protected and restricted in AI-enabled workflows.
Risk & Control Logic
How risks are identified, classified, mitigated, monitored and escalated.
Human Oversight
How human review, intervention, accountability and decision ownership are structured.
Documentation
Whether the vendor can provide usable, buyer-ready and audit-relevant governance evidence.
Customer Enablement
Whether customers receive the information they need for procurement, compliance and internal AI inventories.
Regulatory Mapping
Relevance to EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF and sector-specific governance expectations.
Operational Maturity
Whether governance is embedded in real processes rather than existing only as a policy statement.
From vendor intake to public trust signal.
AIGN follows a clear assessment journey so vendors know what is reviewed, what evidence is required and how the Trust Label decision is made.

Initial profile, product scope, AI use case overview, customer segments and regulatory relevance.
Evidence Request
AIGN requests structured documentation across governance, risk, data, oversight and customer transparency.

The AIGN Vendor Trust Label is a governance trust signal — not a legal guarantee.
The label reflects AIGN’s structured review of AI Governance maturity based on the evidence provided and reviewed at the time of assessment. It does not replace legal advice, regulatory certification by a notified body where required, cybersecurity certification or customer-specific due diligence. Its value lies in making governance maturity visible, structured and defensible.
Make your AI vendor easier to trust.
Apply for the AIGN AI Vendor / Third-Party Governance Service and show enterprise buyers that your AI Governance is not only claimed — it is structured, evidenced and externally reviewed.
