Escalate unresolved vendor risk to Security leadership, legal, procurement, and business owners as necessary. Support internal and external audits of the vendor risk program (e.g. ISO, SOC, FedRAMP). Build and maintain the metrics, dashboards, and reporting that give Security leadership visibility into Samsara's third-party risk posture and program performance. Support the GRC team's efforts to bring automation and AI-enabled tools into vendor risk workflows, such as using AI to triage vendor security questionnaires, flag high-risk contract terms, and incorporate industry learnings into the lifecycle.
