What Acuna Supplier Shield is
Acuna Supplier Shield is third-party risk management software for regulated companies in the EU and Switzerland. It scores suppliers across dependency, reach, and impact to assign a colour-coded risk tier, and grades public-facing security from A to F using OSINT, with updates daily. Teams can run campaigns across multiple suppliers, track responses, and send automatic reminders. Suppliers can answer assessments and upload evidence through a portal without an Acuna account. Aiko proposes question-level evaluations and confidence scores based on responses and uploaded evidence, with a human evaluator reviewing each suggestion. Supply-chain mapping traces subcontractors and further parties to reveal fourth- and fifth-party exposure. An immutable activity log records supplier actions, actors, and timestamps. Assessments are available in English, German, French, or Spanish. The Swiss-hosted platform connects supplier records to Acuna controls, its risk register, incident management, and audit evidence. Professional pricing starts at 5,388 CHF a year; Supplier Shield is an optional module, and price scales by program size rather than headcount.
