FlowForma, the Irish no‑code workflow automation vendor that counts more than 300,000 users among its customers, announced today that its new AI‑powered product, FlowAssure, is now openly available. The solution, which emerged from a beta program and a late‑2025 showcase, can be tried for free for 30 days via https://www.flowforma.com/flowassure.
From Manual Checks to AI‑Assisted Evidence Review
Enterprise security teams have long struggled with the sheer volume of documentation required for third‑party risk assessments. FlowForma’s internal research indicates that up to 70 % of a security team’s time is spent locating and compiling evidence rather than evaluating risk. A typical mid‑market organization handles more than 300 vendors and reviews in excess of 200 pages of evidence per vendor each year—a workload that quickly becomes unwieldy and difficult to audit.
FlowAssure tackles this bottleneck by shifting the assessment model to an “evidence‑first” approach. Instead of starting with questionnaires, the platform ingests raw security artifacts—certifications, audit reports, penetration‑test results, vulnerability scans, and related documentation—into a centralized repository. From there, a suite of AI agents parses the material, maps findings to recognized standards, and surfaces actionable risk insights.
Performance Claims Backed by Beta Data
During its beta phase, FlowAssure reportedly helped participating customers achieve the following efficiencies:
- Manual effort cut by 91 % – analysts spent far less time extracting data from documents.
- Vendor onboarding speed increased fivefold – the time to bring new suppliers into the risk program shrank dramatically.
- Reporting workload reduced by 82 % – generating compliance reports became a largely automated task.
These figures, while provisional, suggest that the platform could address a pain point that many enterprises face as regulatory expectations tighten.
Executive Perspective
John Murphy, FlowForma’s chief executive, framed the launch against a backdrop of escalating compliance demands:
“Vendor risk management has reached a breaking point. Tightening regulation is tightening fast, from the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to ISO standards and many more that raise the bar every year.”
“On top of that, vendor risk workloads are exploding – organisations are working with more third parties than ever before. That’s why FlowAssure shifts the model to evidence‑first assessment, where AI helps security teams interpret real security documentation, surface meaningful risk insights, and make decisions that are faster and fully defensible.”
“FlowAssure extends our company’s 15 years of experience helping enterprises move from spreadsheets and email threads to auditable processes.”
Core Capabilities
- Evidence‑First Vendor Risk Assessment – The platform aggregates all vendor‑provided evidence in a single, searchable location, eliminating the need for scattered spreadsheets and email chains.
- AI‑Powered Security Analysis – Trained on frameworks such as ISO 27001:2022, NIS2, Cyber Essentials, NIST CSF 2.0, and SOC 2, the AI agents automatically flag gaps, generate concise summaries, and propose remediation steps.
- Dynamic Risk Routing – Low‑risk vendors can be auto‑approved, while higher‑risk cases are escalated to human reviewers, allowing security teams to focus on the most critical exposures.
Early Customer Feedback
Niamh Lordan, head of marketing at FlowForma, highlighted concrete use‑case outcomes from beta participants. A multinational FMCG client praised the platform’s ability to handle roughly 350 applications per year, automating high‑volume security assessments and delivering measurable time savings for a 10‑12‑person security team. A healthcare organization valued FlowAssure’s capacity to centralize questionnaires and evidence while leveraging AI to interpret penetration‑test reports, generate instant risk scores, and curb labor‑intensive audit work.
One public‑administration customer summed up the value proposition:
“We love FlowForma Process Automation from a compliance perspective. The last time we were audited, there were no queries at all, because we could show exactly who approved what and when, with all the data and metadata we captured.”
Availability and Access
FlowAssure is positioned as a standalone SaaS offering that can be provisioned within minutes. Prospective users can start a 30‑day free trial directly from the product’s landing page, upload their own security documentation, and begin assessing vendors without a complex implementation cycle. Additional information and demo scheduling are available at https://www.flowforma.com/flowassure and https://www.flowforma.com/demo‑flowassure.
Market Implications
The launch arrives at a moment when AI‑enhanced governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) tools are gaining traction across regulated industries. By embedding explainable AI into the vendor risk workflow, FlowAssure differentiates itself from generic questionnaire‑driven platforms that still rely heavily on manual data entry. If the early performance metrics hold up at scale, the solution could pressure competing vendors to adopt similar evidence‑first, AI‑driven architectures.
Bottom Line
FlowAssure represents FlowForma’s most ambitious foray into AI‑augmented security risk management to date. Its evidence‑first methodology, combined with pretrained AI models aligned to major compliance frameworks, promises to reduce the manual burden of vendor assessments dramatically. Enterprises looking to streamline third‑party risk programs now have a free trial window to evaluate whether the platform lives up to its early claims.
