THE INDUSTRY CHALLENGE

You cannot answer basic questions about your own vendors.

Every new SaaS subscription, cloud provider and security tool adds a contract, compliance obligations and a renewal date. The people responsible for tracking it all run the programme from spreadsheets, ServiceNow tickets and a shared drive.

Fintechs chase compliance artifacts by hand before SOC 2 audits. IT consultancies manage certifications in spreadsheets that flag nothing. Agencies onboard vendors with no due diligence at all.

HOW GATEKEEPER HELPS

One platform for vendor risk, contracts,
compliance and spend

Gatekeeper is a unified platform for vendor and contract lifecycle management, built for the compliance obligations software companies carry.

Screen every vendor before they sign.

Every vendor onboards through the Vendor Portal and completes the same due diligence process, so your team reviews a complete submission instead of chasing incomplete forms by email.

Every vendor has an owner. Every owner has a process.

Business users manage their own vendors through workflows that determine what to collect based on vendor type and risk level, so the central team keeps oversight without doing the coordination.

Compliance is tracked as you go, not assembled before an audit.

Compliance against SOC 2, ISO 27001, and DORA is tracked throughout the year in the same record as the vendor and the contract, so the evidence is already there when an auditor asks for it.

Stop missing renewals and notice periods.

Every auto-renewal is flagged before the notice window closes, along with the vendor's risk profile and spend on the same record, so nothing renews without review.

Your rules, inside the platform.

Your security reviews, approval hierarchies, and vendor classification rules run inside the platform, so the process stays consistent without manual enforcement.

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.

SOC 2 Approval Agent

Extracts key details from SOC 2 reports and surfaces exceptions.

Contract Review Agent

Surfaces non-standard contract terms and summarises key clauses before negotiation.

Contract Obligation Extraction Agent

Extracts contract obligations and structures key dates and commitments for tracking.

Why Gatekeeper

How software teams use Gatekeeper day to day.

GRC and vendor management

Ask Gatekeeper Chat which vendors have lapsed certificates or overdue risk assessments. Structured answer in seconds. No report to configure, no spreadsheet to cross-reference.

Operations and procurement

A department head needs a new supplier. Instead of emailing procurement, they raise the request through their AI assistant. It arrives as a workflow card, already routed to the right approver. Intake becomes a record, not an email thread.

Finance

The CFO asks how much the organisation spends with a specific vendor across all agreements. One view answers it, tied to contracts, renewals, and performance history. Audit evidence is on demand, not a week-long assembly exercise.

Your data, your controls, your region

How Gatekeeper protects your data and helps you meet the standards your auditors and customers expect.

SOC 2

Track vendor onboarding evidence, maintain a full audit trail of every approval and assessment, and surface expiring certifications before the auditor arrives.

ISO 27001

Vendors upload their certificates through the portal. Agents check that they are valid, in date and match the vendor. When a certificate expires, the system automatically triggers re-collection.

GDPR

DPAs are stored against the vendor record and flagged when they need renewing. The audit trail is built as you go, not assembled afterwards.

DORA

Collect the ICT third-party evidence that your regulated customers require through vendor onboarding workflows.

Gatekeeper security

ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II-certified. Regional hosting in the EU, the US, APAC or Canada. We never use contract data to train any model; find out more at trust.gatekeeperhq.com.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from software companies

How does Gatekeeper help software companies pass SOC 2 audits?

The system automatically records every step in vendor onboarding, every approval, and every document collected. When an auditor asks for evidence, it's already in the system. You are not assembling it the week before.

Can business users manage their own vendors without procurement expertise?

Yes, and there is no per-user cost. Workflows walk them through the process, and the checks that apply depend on the vendor type and risk level. They manage the relationship. The system makes sure they follow the process. Your team sees everything in real time.

How long does it take to get started?

Most software companies are live within weeks. If you are replacing an existing tool, we handle the migration and bring your data across.

Does Gatekeeper work with the tools we already use?

Gatekeeper has a native integration with NetSuite and connects to Sage Intacct, Xero and other finance systems through Gatekeeper Interconnect, our no-code integration platform. Jira, Slack and GitHub connect the same way.

Your team logs in through Okta, Azure AD or any SAML provider, so there is no separate set of credentials to manage.

Is Gatekeeper secure enough for companies serving regulated industries?

Gatekeeper holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, and your data is hosted in the region you choose across the EU, US, APAC or Canada. Role-based access controls apply across the whole platform, including Gatekeeper Chat and the MCP connector. You can review everything at trust.gatekeeperhq.com.
