The Key ERP Challenges Graphite Solves


Traditional procurement tools treat all of this as "someone else's problem." Graphite Connect treats it as table stakes.
How Graphite Connect Helps IT and InfoSec Teams
Golden Records: clean supplier data from day one
Graphite's patented Golden Records model means every supplier in our network is verified once and reused everywhere. No duplicates. No conflicting tax IDs. No "ACME Inc." vs "ACME, Inc." vs "Acme Incorporated" in your ERP. When a supplier updates their info on their side, every customer they work with sees the change automatically.
For IT, that means the supplier master data flowing into SAP, Oracle, Workday, or NetSuite is finally trustworthy — and your IAM, GRC, and SIEM tools inherit that quality.
A 6,000+ question TPRM library that streamlines your security reviews
Graphite ships with a library of 6,000+ industry-standard security and risk questions covering SIG, CAIQ, NIST, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, and more. Re-screens and reassessments are automated on the schedule you set. Suppliers see the questions in their own language (17+ supported), and Graphite chases them so your team doesn't have to.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do you keep supplier master data clean in SAP, Oracle, or Workday?
Clean supplier master data starts with eliminating duplicate and conflicting vendor records at the source. Graphite Connect uses a patented Golden Records model: each supplier is verified once and reused across every customer, so typos, duplicates, and mismatched tax IDs never reach your ERP. When a supplier updates their details, the change syncs automatically to your system of record, keeping the data your IAM, GRC, and SIEM tools depend on accurate.
What security and vendor risk assessment frameworks does Graphite support?
Graphite Connect supports SIG, CAIQ, NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR out of the box, with a library of 6,000+ standardized security and risk questions. Automated re-assessments run on the schedule you set, suppliers can respond in 17+ languages, and Graphite handles follow-up for completion, removing the manual chase from your security team's workload.
How does continuous third-party cyber risk monitoring work?
Continuous third-party risk monitoring means breach and risk signals surface automatically after a vendor is approved, not just at onboarding. Graphite Connect integrates directly with SecurityScorecard, BitSight, and RiskRecon for cyber posture, Certificial for insurance, D&B, RapidRatings, and CreditSafe for financial health, EcoVadis for ESG, and Avetta for safety. Risk data appears inside the supplier record your reviewers already use; no separate dashboard to monitor.
Does Graphite Connect integrate with Okta, Azure AD, and other SSO providers?
Yes. Graphite Connect supports SAML 2.0 and OIDC single sign-on with every major identity provider, including Okta, Azure AD / Entra, Ping, and OneLogin. It also offers SCIM 2.0 for automated user provisioning and deprovisioning, role-based access control with delegation and out-of-office routing, and 7-year audit logs with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit.
Is Graphite Connect SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified?
Yes. Graphite Connect is SOC 2 Type II and SOC 1 Type I audited, ISO 27001 certified, and PCI compliant, with quarterly penetration testing and an active bug bounty program. The platform maintains 99.9% uptime across AWS regions in US-East, US-West, EU-West, and APAC with data residency options, plus a 4-hour RTO and 1-hour RPO for disaster recovery.
