Company Replaces Low-Confidence, Point-in-Time Workflows so Enterprises can Continuously Analyze Outside-in Security Feeds and Vendor Security Posture Artifacts to Accurately Identify Gaps and Complete Risk Assessments

BOSTON, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrustCloud®, the AI-native Security Assurance Platform for enterprise CISOs, announced a new version of TrustLens®, the company’s Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) solution. The new TrustLens agentic AI capabilities focus on delivering four critical requirements every CISO wants in their TPRM program: speed, accuracy, coverage, and proactive risk mitigation.

In the latest TrustLens deployments, a Global 2000 life sciences customer leveraged the TPRM AI agent within TrustLens to assist their human agents. As a result, they were able to assess more than 5000 suppliers in six months (a 10x improvement). The TrustLens agent enabled deterministic and accurate risk assessments using a unique combination of AI models and rules, expanded assessed vendor coverage from 20% to 92% of its ecosystem, and identified 4x more critical gaps about their vendors compared to the prior process, resulting in proactive remediation by their supplier landscape.

“Our industry has normalized a version of TPRM that is process-driven rather than outcome-driven, where teams are rewarded for following a rigid process to complete assessments instead of reducing risk and leveraging agentic AI to automate process and improve accuracy,” said Jikku Venkat, Head of Product, Customer Assurance and Third-Party Risk, TrustCloud. “We have introduced an AI agent in TrustLens that automates greater than 70% of the assessment work while still giving the risk analyst control over final decisions and approvals. This replaces point-in-time attestations with continuous proof that stands up to scrutiny at any moment.”

For years, organizations have operated under a model that rewards activity over outcomes, where teams send questionnaires, collect self reported answers, and produce reports that create a sense of diligence while leaving the underlying risk largely untouched. TrustCloud now challenges one of the most deeply entrenched and quietly dangerous assumptions in enterprise security: the belief that documenting risk is the same as managing it. With its new version of the TrustLens product, TrustCloud is now making it clear that the legacy TPRM approach is not just inefficient but fundamentally broken in a world where third party ecosystems are the dominant source of cyber exposure.

With TrustLens’ new agentic AI capabilities, customers now have:

The ability to automatically scope every assessment based on its inherent risk tier; the agent makes it possible to move from one-size fits all questionnaires to right-sizing every single assessment

Real-time knowledge of a vendor’s profile, risks and gaps, and analysis of evidence and data to reduce endless back-and-forth time wasted in manually waiting for and analyzing responses

Intelligent risk summaries, citing documentation, inside-out, outside-in data to accurately complete assessments in a deterministic and auditable fashion

Insights and Q&A to understand business impact of risk factors, allowing anyone to ask questions about the risk posture and gaps with a vendor

Up-to-date security posture data to enable proactive monitoring of security drift and continuously track new risks from a previously completed vendor assessment

TrustCloud’s position is unapologetically direct, which is that most third party risk programs today are not designed to prevent incidents or mitigate risks but to show that someone is completing an assessment to check a box. In an environment where the vast majority of enterprises have already experienced third party-driven breaches, that distinction is no longer acceptable.

“As organizations face increasing regulatory pressure, expanding vendor ecosystems, and a growing gap between perceived and actual risk, we need clear signals that the era of checkbox-driven TPRM is over,” said Dan Walsh, CISO, Datavant. “The future of risk assessment and reporting will require us to understand, report, and reduce risk with transparency, automation, and a data-driven approach that operates 24×7 across our entire vendor landscape.”

“With this launch, we are disrupting the TPRM status quo by eliminating a process that is simply frustrating for both the assessor and the third party,” said Tejas Ranade, Co-founder and CPO, TrustCloud. “We are replacing every broken manual workflow created by ineffective TPRM tools of the past with agentic, continuous data driven assessments that defend an organization from supply chain risk and allow CISOs to finally use their TPRM process as a high-confidence predictor of risk.”

TAMPA, Fla., May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quiet Professionals and Spathe Systems are now Endurion, a defense and technology company supporting Special Operations and national security missions. This reflects how the companies have been operating as an integrated team, bringing together technology, intelligence, and operational expertise to support the mission.

The launch, timed to coincide with SOF Week 2026, where the company will have a prominent presence, introduces Endurion as a unified mission partner delivering end-to-end solutions across intelligence, operations, and technology. Rooted in Special Operations, the company brings together operators, technologists, and analysts into a single capability to support complex, high-consequence missions. The company is backed by McNally Capital, a middle-market private equity firm that has invested in cutting edge defense technology companies for decades, in partnership with Nio Advisors. 

“Capability alone is no longer enough. What matters is whether mission capability operates as a unified system,” said Andy Wilson, CEO, Endurion. “Endurion brings together decades of operational, intelligence, and technical capabilities into a single system across the full mission lifecycle. By connecting data, technology, and teams, our partners can execute with speed, precision, and continuity.”

The launch follows significant contract momentum that underscores the company’s scale and trajectory. This includes two major recompete wins, including an approximately $85 million, five-year USSOCOM award, reportedly the largest single-provider full and open contract awarded to a “large” in this category, as well as a multi-million dollar bridge contract supporting SOUTHCOM Enhanced Domain Awareness work ahead of expected IDIQ task orders this June.

Together, these wins signal a company expanding beyond its legacy footprint, with the depth to deliver both standalone mission roles and fully integrated capabilities.

Endurion: A Shift in How Mission Capability Is Delivered

Modern missions are continuous, distributed, and data-intensive, yet too often, data remains fragmented, platforms fail to integrate, and teams operate in parallel rather than as a cohesive system. The result is delay, limited visibility, and increased operational risk.

Unlike traditional models that separate products, services, and operational support, Endurion embeds with mission partners and integrates into existing environments. Its approach ensures that data, analytics, platforms, and personnel function together in real time, from planning through execution and sustainment.

This integration is reflected across Endurion’s capabilities, which span advanced data and intelligence, geospatial and situational awareness, cloud and cyber infrastructure, and forward-deployed operational support. Rather than delivering these as standalone capabilities, Endurion unifies them into a system aligned with how missions are executed in the field.

Pathfinder: A Unified Platform for Modern Operations

At the core of Endurion’s capabilities is its intelligence system Pathfinder, which transforms fragmented data into real-time insight and a unified operational picture enabling faster, more decisive action across mission environments.

Pathfinder ingests data from a wide range of edge devices and external sources – from mobile and vehicle-based sensors to commercially and publicly available data streams. It goes beyond simple collection, processing and analyzing data in real time to identify patterns, relationships, and emerging activity as it happens.

This intelligence is fused into a native common operating picture, giving teams immediate, actionable situational awareness and the ability to move from data to decision to action without delay.

About Endurion
Endurion is a mission integrator built by and for the Special Operations community, delivering end-to-end solutions across intelligence, operations, and technology. Founded and led by former SOF operators and mission experts, Endurion is grounded in firsthand experience of the environments, challenges, and stakes its customers face.

NEW YORK, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A new industry roundup from Consumer365 examining the best gold dealers in the United States for 2026 highlights Priority Gold for its approach to transparency, education, and long-term client support. The recognition comes as more investors reassess traditional portfolio strategies and explore alternatives such as physical gold and silver.

Best Gold Dealers in the US

Priority Gold – a precious metals dealer that helps individuals purchase and incorporate physical gold and silver into their long-term financial and retirement strategies.

Rising Interest in Precious Metals Amid Market Shifts

The Consumer365 report arrives at a time when long-standing assumptions about portfolio diversification are being tested. Persistent inflation, currency pressure, and increased market volatility have prompted both institutional and individual investors to reconsider heavy reliance on stocks and bonds.

Recent market performance has contributed to this shift. In 2025, gold rose approximately 65 percent, while silver increased by roughly 144 percent. Both metals outpaced broader equity benchmarks during the same period, reflecting renewed demand for tangible assets during periods of economic uncertainty.

Financial institutions have also acknowledged changes in diversification dynamics, as stocks and bonds have shown a tendency to move in the same direction during periods of stress. This has led to increased interest in real assets such as gold and silver as part of broader portfolio strategies.

Priority Gold Recognized for Transparency and Client Education

Within this evolving landscape, Consumer365 highlighted Priority Gold for its emphasis on clear pricing, client education, and a straightforward onboarding process. The firm has been recognized as one of Forbes’ top Gold IRA partners and is the # 1 Gold IRA provider on the Inc. 5000 list, reflecting sustained growth driven by client demand.

Priority Gold’s approach focuses on helping individuals understand how physical precious metals can fit within long-term financial planning. Rather than positioning metals as short-term trades, the company emphasizes their historical role in diversification and risk management.

The firm provides access to a range of services designed to simplify the process of acquiring and storing precious metals, including:

Transparent pricing structures designed to reduce uncertaintySecure storage options through IRS-approved depositoriesFree shipping on qualifying purchasesPersonalized support throughout account setup and funding

This model is intended to support investors seeking clarity as they navigate a complex and changing financial environment.

Gold and Silver in Retirement Planning

A key area of focus for many investors is the role of precious metals within retirement accounts. Self-directed Individual Retirement Accounts, often referred to as Precious Metals IRAs, allow for the inclusion of physical gold, silver, and other approved metals while maintaining existing tax advantages.

These accounts differ from traditional paper-based investments in several ways:

Physical ownership of assets held in secure, regulated facilitiesReduced reliance on financial intermediaries or market liquidityExposure to assets that have historically behaved differently than equities and bonds

Gold has long been viewed as a potential hedge against currency erosion and inflation, while silver offers both monetary and industrial demand, contributing to its distinct performance characteristics.

Structured Approach to Precious Metals Integration

Consumer365 also noted Priority Gold’s structured process for investors interested in adding metals to their portfolios. The company outlines a simplified framework designed to reduce complexity:

Initial consultation to assess financial goals and suitabilityTransfer or rollover of eligible retirement fundsSelection of IRS-approved metals that meet purity standardsSecure storage through approved custodians and depositories

This step-by-step approach is designed to help investors move from initial interest to implementation with a clearer understanding of requirements and timelines.

Growing Role of Real Assets in Long-Term Strategies

As economic conditions continue to evolve, the role of real assets in portfolio construction is gaining renewed attention. Gold and silver, in particular, have historically demonstrated resilience during periods of inflation, market instability, and currency fluctuations.

Consumer365’s 2026 report reflects this broader trend, positioning precious metals not as a replacement for traditional investments, but as a complementary component within diversified strategies.

Priority Gold’s inclusion in the report underscores the increasing importance of transparency, education, and operational clarity as more investors explore alternative approaches to long-term financial planning.
