# The vendor profile

> A tour of the vendor detail view — overview, security, privacy, financials, GRC posture, and assessment.

Every vendor has a detail view — its **profile** — that brings the research, scoring, and your assessment together in one place. This page maps out what's on each tab so you know where to look.

## The posture ring

At the top of every vendor profile is the **posture ring** — the vendor's aggregate score and risk tier at a glance (for example, `94 · Low`). It's the one-second read on where the vendor stands.

## Vendor Risk sections

Alongside the tabs, the profile's **Vendor Risk** navigation gives you focused views:

* **General Compliance** — the compliance picture and certifications.
* **Privacy Controls** — data handling, data-subject support, and sub-processors.
* **Business Maturity** — company type, funding, and reach.
* **GRC Posture** — the scoring detail.
* **Vendor Assessment Tracking** — your assessment and its history.

<Tip>
  The **How scoring works** link on the GRC Posture tab opens the methodology in context — handy when you want to explain a number to a stakeholder.
