THE INDUSTRY CHALLENGE

Regulators expect end-to-end evidence. Most teams assemble it by hand.

FCA, PRA, DORA, CPS 230, state and federal examinations. The obligations keep growing. The team does not.

Most firms still manage vendor risk in spreadsheets, contracts in shared drives, spend in the ERP, and renewals in someone's calendar. When the regulator asks for evidence, it takes hours or days to pull it together.

That person who knows where everything is? They are the system. And when they leave, the knowledge goes with them.

HOW GATEKEEPER HELPS

Risk, contracts, renewals and spend
on one record.

Gatekeeper is a unified platform for vendor and contract lifecycle management, built for the regulatory demands of financial services.

Third-party risk and compliance that keeps running.

Risk assessments, due diligence questionnaires, security policies, SOC 2 reports and insurance certificates all flow into the vendor record through structured workflows.

Every contract opens with the full picture. Risk assessments, due diligence findings, and the vendor profile carry forward automatically, so Legal reviews terms with context, not assumptions. Gatekeeper Agents check clauses against your playbook, extract obligations and key dates, and flag deviations before negotiation begins.

After signature, the contract stays connected to the obligations it created, the renewal dates it carries, and the spend it governs. Nothing migrates to a separate system. Nothing drops into a folder. One record links the vendor, the contract, and every commitment it contains.

The result is a risk record that stays current between assessments, not one that is stale by the time anyone reads it.

UI_Risk Response - MarketIQ Workflow

Contract lifecycle management connected to the vendor record.

Every contract opens with the full picture. Risk assessments, due diligence findings, and the vendor profile carry forward automatically, so legal reviews terms with context, not assumptions. Agents check clauses against your playbook, extract obligations and key dates, and flag deviations before negotiation begins.

After signature, the contract stays connected to the obligations it created, the renewal dates it carries, and the spend it governs. One record. No system hops and no lost context.

Renewal oversight before the notice window closes.

Missed notice periods on vendor contracts cost financial services firms real money and real exposure. Gatekeeper tracks every renewal date and notice period, and the Contract Renewal Agent flags auto-renewals as they approach their deadline, before the window closes.

The renewal brief arrives with the contract's performance history, spend data and risk posture already attached, so the decision is whether to renew, renegotiate or exit, not whether anyone remembered the date.

UI_Renewal Alert Agent

Ask your data instead of assembling a report.

When a regulator asks which critical suppliers have contracts expiring in the next 90 days with outstanding compliance findings, most teams need a day to assemble the answer from four systems. Gatekeeper Chat answers in seconds: a structured table with linked records, drawn from the unified record, within existing permissions.

The question that used to wait until the meeting was over now gets answered while the meeting is still running.

AI AGENTS

Gatekeeper Agents handle the collection, chasing and validation.

Gatekeeper's agents work as a single, connected team, handing off to one another across the lifecycle rather than running in isolation like bolted-on point tools.

Insurance Certificate Review Agent

Checks coverage levels and catches lapsed policies.

SOC 2 Approval Agent

Extracts key details from SOC 2 reports and surfaces exceptions.

DDQ Approval Agent

Validates coverage levels and flags insufficient or lapsed certificates.

Why Gatekeeper

How financial services teams use Gatekeeper.

Compliance and risk

Monitors certificates and attestations continuously, not once a year. 

Procurement

Builds risk checks into onboarding and flags renewals early. 

Legal

Shows vendor risk before you open the agreement. 

Finance

Tracks committed spend and catches auto-renewals before they invoice. 

REGULATIONS & STANDARDS COVERED

Built for the frameworks financial services teams report against.

FCA and PRA (UK)

Gatekeeper supports operational resilience and third-party oversight requirements for FCA and PRA-regulated firms, with structured vendor risk assessments, obligation tracking and on-demand audit evidence for materiality reporting. 

DORA (EU)

The Digital Operational Resilience Act requires EU financial entities to classify, assess and monitor ICT third-party service providers. Gatekeeper's DORA Compliance Agent checks vendor submissions for compliance gaps and missing controls. Risk registers, due diligence records and ongoing monitoring sit on the vendor record, ready for the regulator. 

CPS 230 (Australia)

APRA's CPS 230 requires regulated entities to identify and manage material service providers. Gatekeeper structures the due diligence, onboarding and ongoing monitoring of material service providers, with questionnaires covering ESG, modern slavery, privacy, cyber and financial health. 

US state and federal examinations

For firms subject to state and federal examination programmes, Gatekeeper holds the critical vendor list, their contracts, and all collected due diligence in one place, ready to produce on the notice the examiner gives rather than assembling it over days. 

SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS

Gatekeeper tracks compliance certificates and attestations and monitors them continuously. The SOC 2 Approval Agent reads reports and flags exceptions. The Insurance Certificate Review Agent catches expired or insufficient certificates, not a person checking a spreadsheet. 

Modern Slavery Act (Australia)

Gatekeeper supports Modern Slavery Act reporting requirements with a contract repository that links vendor records to modern slavery questionnaires and evidence, so reporting draws from live data rather than being assembled at year-end.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from financial services.

Does Gatekeeper meet the security standards financial services firms expect?

Gatekeeper holds ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR certifications, with DORA in its compliance framework. Regional data hosting across the EU, US, APAC and Canada matches data residency requirements. The full security position is published at trust.gatekeeperhq.com. 

Where is our data hosted, and can we choose the region?

Gatekeeper operates regional tenancies across the EU, US, APAC and Canada. Your data is hosted in the region you choose, and the Gatekeeper MCP Connector serves requests from the matching regional endpoint. 

Do Gatekeeper AI and Gatekeeper Agents work within our existing access controls?

Yes. Role-based permissions apply to Gatekeeper Chat and the MCP Connector in the same way they apply to the rest of the platform: a person sees only what their role allows. No separate AI view bypasses the access model you have configured. Every action, whether taken by a person or by a Gatekeeper Agent, is logged in the audit trail, and agent decisions are visible, explainable and overridable.

Is contract and vendor data used to train AI models?

No. Your contract and vendor data are not used to train third-party AI models. Gatekeeper AI and Gatekeeper Agents work only on your data, within your existing permissions.

Can Gatekeeper handle DORA compliance for ICT third-party providers?

Gatekeeper's DORA Compliance Agent checks ICT vendor submissions for compliance gaps and missing controls. Risk assessments, due diligence records and ongoing monitoring sit on the vendor record, so the classification of critical ICT third-party providers is documented, tracked and ready for regulatory review.

How does Gatekeeper connect vendor risk assessments to contracts?

Gatekeeper holds vendor risk assessments and contracts on the same record, so the due diligence findings shape the contract clause, obligations stay tracked after signature, and the renewal arrives with the vendor's risk and performance history already attached. No re-keying, no separate systems.

Can we produce audit evidence on demand?

Gatekeeper holds every vendor record, risk assessment, contract, obligation and compliance certificate on one platform. When a regulator or auditor asks for evidence, the answer is a structured report or a Gatekeeper Chat query, not a manual assembly exercise across four systems.

How long does implementation take for a financial services firm?

Implementation timelines depend on the number of vendors, contracts and workflows in scope. Gatekeeper's professional services team works with regulated firms to configure workflows, migrate data and go live in a structured rollout.
