Overview
Alteryx is a leading enterprise analytics platform helping organizations turn data into actionable insights. As AI adoption and its third-party ecosystem grew, so did the scope of its governance program.
With Mine, Alteryx has built a governance program spanning commercial product assessments, third-party vendor reviews, HR benefits, marketing leads, and CCPA/ADMT use cases. Inventory, documentation, and AI-powered workflows help teams apply a risk-based approach and make faster, more informed assessment decisions.
The Challenge
Alteryx’s governance team was managing a growing range of AI use cases and third-party relationships, requiring significant research and coordination.
The team needed to:
- Speed up AI risk reviews.
- Tailor assessments to different use cases and risk levels.
- Reduce manual vendor research.
- Give reviewers better context upfront.
- Reduce the burden on cross-functional stakeholders.
As use cases expanded, Alteryx needed to move from form-heavy reviews to a risk-based approach that applied the right level of review to each request.
Why Alteryx Chose Mine
Alteryx chose Mine for its ability to combine structured governance workflows with automation and AI-powered research.
Key factors included:
- Flexible workflows: Governance use cases can be configured around Alteryx’s specific processes and requirements.
- Automated intelligence: Enriching governance records with relevant context, reducing manual research and data collection.
- Inventory & documentation: Giving teams a structured view of systems and AI use cases, with supporting documentation that provides the context needed for risk decisions.
- Risk-based assessment: Uses Alteryx’s organizational requirements and inventory to determine the appropriate level of review, required assessments, and guardrails.
- AI-powered workflows: Mira AI agents helps accelerate assessments and turn governance information into actionable decisions.
- Collaborative partnership: The Mine team worked closely with Alteryx throughout implementation and ongoing program development.
This gave Alteryx more than a place to complete assessments - it gave teams the context to determine what level of review was needed and why.
Solution & Implementation
Alteryx put Mine into action across its AI and third-party governance processes, combining inventory, risk-tiering, and Mira AI agents to automate research and assessment work.
- Faster AI Risk Assessments - Autofill Agent gathers assessment information, while the inventory and risk-tiering help determine the right level of review.
- More Efficient Vendor Reviews - Vendor Scout automates vendor research, giving reviewers relevant information upfront and helping move more approvals forward.
- Governance Across Teams - Supporting product, engineering, legal, marketing, HR, and privacy workflows across different assessment needs.
- An Evolving Partnership - Alteryx and Mine continuously refine templates, workflows, and use cases as requirements change.
Together, these workflows have helped Alteryx move from form-heavy reviews to a faster, risk-based approach.
“We’ve been able to move from a forms-based approach to a risk-based approach and take the burden off the business and our many cross-functional stakeholder groups. Reviews that used to take 50+ days are now typically completed in under 7 days, with some approvals happening the same day as the request. Having the inventory and documentation in one place has been a game changer for us!”

The Results:
Faster, Company-Wide Risk-Based Reviews
With Mine, Alteryx has increased both the pace and reach of its governance operations, creating capacity for more reviews and broader participation without adding the same level of manual effort.
- Reviews in <7 days - Assessments that previously took 50+ days are now typically completed in under 7 days, with some approvals happening the same day as the request.
- 64% faster AI approvals - Median approval time for AI assessments dropped from 44 days to 16 days.
- Nearly 3× more vendor approvals - Vendor Scout automates vendor research, helping reviewers move more approvals forward.
- Less burden on stakeholders - AI and automation use Alteryx’s organizational requirements to determine risk level, required assessments, and the appropriate level of review.
- Governance across teams - Product, engineering, legal, marketing, HR, and privacy teams use Mine across multiple workflows.
Alteryx can focus deeper reviews where they matter most while moving lower-risk requests forward with the right guardrails.
Conclusion
As AI and third-party use cases continue to evolve, Alteryx has moved from form-heavy reviews to a faster, risk-based approach.
By combining its own requirements with Mine’s inventory, AI, and automation, Alteryx can determine the right level of review for each request — reducing the burden on stakeholders while keeping governance moving at the pace of the business.
