How ToolHive Helps CISOs Track Security Risks and Vendors

ToolHive

Control your risks, without the chaos

For Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), managing security risks is never just about your own systems. It is about every vendor you trust, every tool you use, and every piece of personal data you are responsible for.

ToolHive helps you bring structure, visibility, and control to vendor and tool management, without drowning in spreadsheets or endless email chains.


📋 Track key risk factors for every tool

Inside ToolHive, every tool and vendor can be linked to key risk indicators, including:

  • What types of personal data the tool processes
  • Whether the vendor holds certifications like ISO27001 or SOC2
  • If the vendor offers a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
  • Security measures the vendor claims to have
  • Specific risk notes your team adds

You get a clear, centralized view of potential weak points before they become real problems.


🛡️ Manage approvals and changes

Every new tool, every change request, and every vendor onboarding goes through a structured approval process inside ToolHive.

  • Require multiple people to approve a tool or vendor
  • Add comments or questions directly into the approval workflow
  • Track every decision for audit purposes

No more "shadow IT" surprises or undocumented tool choices.


📂 Stay audit-ready without the panic

Need to prove that you have vendor oversight during a GDPR, NIS2, or ISO27001 audit?

With ToolHive, you can quickly:

  • Show which vendors handle personal data
  • Prove you have reviewed contracts and security measures
  • Provide evidence of approvals and change management

Everything is organized, searchable, and easy to export if needed.


🛠️ Designed for action, not just documentation

ToolHive is not just a passive list of vendors. It is a working system that grows with your company.

  • Mark vendors for review
  • Flag risk concerns
  • Assign tasks for missing information
  • Update approvals as circumstances change

Real security is about keeping your information living, moving, and accurate.
