Vistrada Launches VERA

New York, NY – July 29, 2026 - Vistrada (https://www.vistrada.com) today announced the launch of VERA, the Evidence-Based Vendor Intelligence platform that helps organizations evaluate suppliers, partners, acquisition targets, and other external organizations using transparent, independently verifiable evidence.

Organizations make critical trust decisions every day. Whether evaluating suppliers, partners, acquisition targets, or other external organizations, those decisions often depend on information that is difficult to validate, quickly becomes outdated, and requires significant manual effort.

VERA introduces Evidence-Based Vendor Intelligence, a new approach to evaluating organizations through independently verifiable evidence. By discovering, validating, and analyzing thousands of publicly observable signals, VERA transforms independently verifiable evidence into transparent, explainable organizational intelligence. Advances in automation and artificial intelligence have made it possible to perform this analysis at a scale that wasn't previously feasible or cost effective.

"The internet contains an enormous amount of evidence about how different organizations operate," said Ian Butler, Chief Technology Officer at Vistrada. "The challenge has never been finding information. It's been determining what's accurate, relevant, and what actually matters. VERA uses AI and a patent-pending process to transform that raw evidence into transparent, defensible, and easy to understand intelligence that organizations can trust. It’s that transparency that sets VERA apart from traditional vendor assessment tools."

Early customer engagements have already demonstrated measurable business value. After implementing recommendations identified through VERA, one customer reduced its monthly cyber insurance premium from approximately $1,200 to $450 while strengthening its cybersecurity posture.

"VERA gave us an objective view of our external security posture and identified improvements we could act on immediately. After implementing those recommendations, we reduced our cyber insurance premium by more than 60 percent while improving our overall security program. The value was immediate and measurable."

- Ben Biran, Cofounder, ACRONYM

"I've spent years helping organizations perform vendor assessments, answer customer security questionnaires, and validate third-party risk. VERA doesn't replace due diligence, but it gives organizations a far stronger starting point by providing independently verifiable evidence before organizations begin a more in-depth assessment process."

- Matt Malone, Director and CISO, Vistrada

"One of the most interesting things we've observed is how broadly customers are applying VERA beyond cybersecurity to procurement, insurance, mergers and acquisitions, and investment due diligence," said Chris Rezny, Director of Data, Analytics & AI at Vistrada and Product Manager for VERA. "Evidence-based intelligence helps organizations make faster, more informed business decisions."
