Vendor Due Diligence › Vendors › AlphaSense
AlphaSense is a Market Data / Research vendor used by registered investment advisers and other SEC-regulated firms. MTradecraft tracks AlphaSense in its Vendor Due Diligence Portal, where each vendor is researched against a fixed security and regulatory questionnaire — now including a supplemental AI section: every confirmed answer carries a public source URL and capture date, and anything unconfirmed is marked Unknown rather than inferred. Based on its function, MTradecraft classifies AlphaSense as Medium sensitivity, and it handles client personally identifiable information.
What the full profile covers
- Vendor Information — 11 controlled questions
- Information Security Practices — 29 controlled questions
- Training & Oversight — 2 controlled questions
- Cyber Incidents & Testing — 3 controlled questions
- Confidentiality & Compliance — 5 controlled questions
Plus identity facts (parent company, HQ jurisdiction, hosting provider), SOC 2 sourcing, and the items only the vendor can attest to — flagged so you know exactly what to request in writing.
Why this matters for your firm
SEC-registered advisers must oversee service providers that touch customer information (Reg S-P, 17 CFR §248.30), maintain a written compliance program covering vendor risk (Rule 206(4)-7), and retain the records that prove the review happened (Rule 204-2). The portal turns that into a defensible, citable record — including a printable report you can file.
