VendorCat - Know your vendors: background checks and breach alerts

by•
VendorCat runs a background check on every vendor you pay: owner, SEC filings, sanctions, breaches, exploited flaws, website age. Then it sends you short headlines when they get breached, go down or get acquired. Free for 10 vendors.

Hey PH. I run IT infrastructure. A while back I had no single place to see our vendors: who sold it, when it renews, what it costs. So I built a tracker.

Then I realized a tracker only knows what you typed. It doesn't know your payroll vendor got breached this morning, or that the company you renew with every year got bought.

So VendorCat now runs a background check on every vendor (ownership, SEC filings, sanctions, breaches, exploited flaws, website age) from public sources, and gives you short headlines when one of them is in trouble. The day I shipped it, it logged Cloudflare, GitHub and Microsoft incidents within hours.

Free for 10 vendors. Built with Claude Code. Blunt feedback welcome.
