Overview
Aravo is a third-party risk management (TPRM) platform used by large enterprises to manage the onboarding, due diligence, continuous monitoring and offboarding of suppliers, vendors and other third parties. Marketed as the Intelligence First Platform, it targets Fortune 100 and Global 2000 organizations in industries such as financial services, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, manufacturing, high tech, insurance and consumer goods that need to manage risk across large, complex third-party ecosystems spanning many countries.
The platform covers the full third-party lifecycle: nomination and intake, onboarding, dynamic risk-tiered due diligence, continuous monitoring, contract management, performance management, issue management and remediation, and controlled offboarding. It ships pre-built content for specific risk and compliance domains including anti-bribery and corruption, data privacy and GDPR, information security risk, ESG and sustainability, financial compliance, DORA, and Germany's supply chain due diligence law (LkSG). An integration framework connects to over 45 third-party risk-intelligence data providers (including Dun & Bradstreet, LexisNexis, Dow Jones, LSEG World-Check, SecurityScorecard, BitSight and RapidRatings) via REST/SOAP web services, and customer references describe integrating Aravo's supplier data with SAP for procure-to-pay processes.
Aravo has recently added an agentic AI layer ("AI Canvas" and "AI Studio") with role-specific agents for navigation, risk assessment, questionnaire prefill and remediation recommendations, layered on top of its longstanding configurable workflow and risk-scoring engine. Aravo was named a Leader in Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for Third-Party Risk Management Tools.
