## Executive Summary

PromptArmor focuses on assessing the AI a company's vendors run, giving third-party-risk, security, privacy, and legal teams a way to review the apps, agents, and connectors a supplier has adopted and to get alerted when a vendor changes how it uses AI or customer data. The early demand is real for a company this young: HubSpot's security team uses it to speed AI vendor reviews, and it built its name by publicly disclosing a 2024 Slack AI bug, covered by Dark Reading and The Register, that let attackers steal data from private channels. Its edge today is being early and research-credible, not a durable lock: the vendor-risk platforms it connects into could add the same checks to tools buyers already own.
