Hyperproof Acquires Expent.ai, Redefining Trust, Vendor, and Third-Party Risk Management

Updated on: Oct 8, 2025 3 Minute Read

At Hyperproof, our mission is clear: empower organizations to manage compliance, mitigate risk, and build trust at scale. Today, we’re excited to share a major step forward on that journey. Hyperproof has acquired Expent.ai, a pioneering AI-native platform for vendor lifecycle management, vendor assurance, and third-party risk management (TPRM).

This acquisition combines Hyperproof’s intelligent GRC platform with Expent’s cutting-edge agentic AI and enterprise-grade vendor management capabilities. The result? A seamless, unified solution that helps organizations transform trust, third-party, and vendor management into a strategic advantage.

Why Expent.ai?

Expent.ai isn’t just another TPRM solution. Where most platforms stop at risk assessments, Expent spans the entire vendor lifecycle, from intake and procurement to contracts, performance management, and renewals.

With Expent, enterprises can:

Manage the full vendor journey in one platform
Embed Risk AI into onboarding, contracts, and renewals instead of treating risk as an isolated step
Drive cross-functional collaboration across Security, Privacy, Legal, IT, Procurement, and Finance
Integrate deeply with systems like SAP, Workday, Coupa, NetSuite, and Okta
Leverage AI for vendor deduplication, document parsing, predictive spend insights, license optimization, and renewal management

The result is a solution that’s as strategic as it is operational, helping GRC leaders go beyond compliance to optimize performance, reduce costs, and strengthen trust.

Vendor assurance: Expent’s agentic AI advantage

Traditional AI tools often create new silos, optimizing individual tasks but leaving gaps in the overall workflow. Expent.ai takes a different approach to vendor assurance, deploying a swarm of specialized AI agents that coordinate across functions.

Here’s how Expent’s agentic AI works:

Risk agents

Monitor vendors in real time, automate assessments, and flag risks for action.

Contract agents

Parse and redline agreements, surfacing compliance gaps.

Renewal agents

Flag auto-renewals, trigger workflows, and recommend alternatives.

Performance agents

Score vendors, trigger improvement plans, and consolidate feedback.

Because these agents are embedded across the entire vendor lifecycle, they eliminate manual bottlenecks, surface insights proactively, and ensure teams always work with speed, context, and control.

Transforming the vendor lifecycle

For today’s GRC, procurement, and IT leaders, vendor and third-party risk management is no longer a back-office chore. It’s a business-critical function tied to resilience, cost efficiency, and stakeholder trust.

With Expent.ai, Hyperproof customers can now:

Accelerate vendor risk assessments by up to 80%
Eliminate tool sprawl with one AI-native platform
Reduce manual effort in contracts, renewals, and performance management
Scale intelligently with AI agents that evolve alongside organizational maturity

Looking ahead

This acquisition helps Hyperproof meet the growing demand for AI-powered GRC. More importantly, it reflects our belief that trust should be something organizations can demonstrate, not just claim. By unifying Hyperproof’s intelligent GRC platform with Expent’s agentic AI capabilities, we’re helping businesses show — and scale — their trustworthiness across the entire supply chain.

We’re thrilled to welcome Expent.ai to the Hyperproof family. Together, we’re building the future of intelligent GRC: one where compliance, risk, and trust come together in a single, powerful platform.

Stay tuned for more updates as we bring these new capabilities to Hyperproof customers.
