Microsoft Presidio Vendor Risk Management

Microsoft Presidio Vendor Risk Management is designed to stop that from happening. It gives you a way to find, classify, and protect sensitive data across your supply chain before problems spread.

Presidio is an open-source tool from Microsoft that detects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other sensitive data in text and documents. When integrated into Vendor Risk Management workflows, it lets you scan inputs from third-party systems, vendors, and contractors with precision. You get instant insight into what data you hold, where it comes from, and who touches it.

Vendor risk isn’t just about contracts and compliance reports. It’s about controlling the real data flows that move across your network. By pairing Microsoft Presidio with automated vendor assessments, you can monitor what vendors send and receive. You can enforce policies on sensitive fields and test compliance at scale.

Presidio supports customizable recognizers for adapting detection to industry-specific data like financial IDs, healthcare records, or proprietary identifiers. Combined with risk scoring models, it becomes a core part of vendor onboarding and renewal processes. You can run scans before vendors go live, during audits, or on a continuous schedule. The result is measurable reduction in data exposure.

Integrating Microsoft Presidio into a Vendor Risk Management system also boosts incident response. If a new regulatory requirement appears or a breach occurs in the vendor network, you can run targeted scans for impacted data and respond fast. Logs from Presidio can feed SIEMs and compliance dashboards for unified risk visibility.

The biggest gain comes from real-time scanning at integration points. APIs that connect to vendor systems can filter data through Presidio before storing or transmitting it. This prevents accidental leaks and ensures sensitive data is flagged for special handling.
