1. About FlowAssure

FlowAssure is a product from FlowForma. FlowAssure ("FlowAssure", "we", "us", or "our") provides an AI-assisted vendor risk assessment and third-party risk management platform designed to help organisations evaluate suppliers, vendors, and third parties against security, compliance, operational, and business risk criteria.

The Free Trial allows prospective customers to evaluate the functionality of the FlowAssure platform for internal business purposes.


2. AI-Assisted Risk Assessments

FlowAssure uses artificial intelligence technologies, including Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service, to assist with the analysis, summarisation, and evaluation of vendor risk information.

Risk assessments, recommendations, summaries, and other outputs generated by the platform are intended to support decision-making only and do not constitute professional, legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, compliance, financial, or risk-management advice.

You acknowledge that:

  • AI-generated outputs may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or outdated information
  • FlowAssure does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any assessment or recommendation
  • You remain solely responsible for conducting appropriate due diligence and making all vendor onboarding, procurement, risk acceptance, and compliance decisions

3. Data Processing and Hosting

FlowAssure processes information submitted by users for the purpose of generating vendor risk assessments and related analysis. FlowAssure utilises Microsoft Azure OpenAI services as part of its platform functionality.

Customer data is hosted and processed within the European Union (EU). Data submitted through FlowAssure is not used to train OpenAI or Microsoft foundation models.

FlowAssure implements reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect customer data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

FlowAssure does not warrant that:

  • Vendor risk assessments will identify all risks
  • The platform will detect all security, compliance, operational, financial, or legal issues relating to any vendor
