Gartner ® Magic Quadrant ™ Report

April 9, 2026

Third-Party Risk Management Tools for Assurance Leaders, 2026 

Third‑party risk, procurement and security vendors are under pressure to prove continuous oversight, meet evolving regulations and onboard vendors faster, without increasing exposure. Yet many organizations still rely on manual, spreadsheet‑driven programs that limit visibility into vendor performance, inherent and residual risk, and emerging threats across the third‑party ecosystem.

We believe this Gartner ® report provides independent analysis to help assurance leaders evaluate next‑generation TPRM tools built to operate at scale. See why Diligent was named a Leader — and, in our opinion, that recognition reflects about our ability to deliver AI‑driven, continuous third‑party risk insight through the Diligent One Platform, including our AI‑native 3rdRisk solution.

Built with AI at its core, Diligent helps organizations move beyond static questionnaires and point‑in‑time assessments by unifying third‑party risk data, automating assessments and continuously monitoring vendor risk signals — all in a single platform.



We recommend using this report to:

  • Understand how Gartner evaluates third‑party risk management tools market‑wide
  • Benchmark vendors based on execution, vision
  • See how peers automate vendor profiling, assessment workflows and document review using AI
  • Gain visibility into third‑party dependencies, performance and criticality across your ecosystem
  • Quantify efficiency and oversight gains versus spreadsheet‑driven TPRM programs

Use this trusted, research‑driven analysis to validate your roadmap, support your business case and compare leading TPRM solutions — including platforms designed to deliver continuous, decision‑ready third‑party risk intelligence.
