A Contact Support page offers chat with the support team and links to the public knowledge base and docs, which are the main self-serve channels. No support phone line, support email address, SLA or 24/7 claim is published.
“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Frequently asked questions
How is Gatekeeper priced?
Pricing is quote-based and no list price is published. Gatekeeper sizes plans by third-party volume (Pro up to 250 third parties, Enterprise up to 750, Enterprise Plus 750+) and by how many workflows you need. Unlimited users, unlimited eSign licences and the AI agent suite are included on every plan. MarketIQ Full financial health and cybersecurity monitoring is usage-based. You must request a demo for a quote.
How long does implementation take and is there an implementation fee?
Gatekeeper says pre-built best-practice workflows can deploy proven processes 'in days', and its Pro plan includes contract and vendor repositories with two best-practice workflows and one custom workflow. No mandatory implementation fee is published. Integrations through Gatekeeper Interconnect, including the native NetSuite sync, are built, implemented and maintained by the Gatekeeper team, which implies some onboarding involvement rather than zero-touch setup.
Does Gatekeeper work with AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT?
Yes. Gatekeeper ships its own MCP server that connects your tenant to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and any other client that supports MCP. You can read contracts, vendors and workflows, raise requests, and update records within your existing Gatekeeper permissions. Regional endpoints exist for the EU, US, APAC and Canada. MCP is listed on Enterprise Plus and described as available on selected plans, so confirm availability for your plan with your account director.
Which security and compliance certifications does Gatekeeper hold?
The pages reviewed do not state SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, FedRAMP or ISO 42001 certification, and no named certified AI-governance individual is referenced, so none of those flags are set. Gatekeeper positions itself on audit-ready evidence and states its AI reviews third parties against SOC 2, DORA and ESG, which is about your vendors rather than its own certifications. Ask the vendor directly for certification reports.
Who sees our data, and can an AI tool widen access?
Gatekeeper states that MCP access is governed by your existing Gatekeeper role and permissions, that connecting an AI tool does not widen anyone's access and does not move data somewhere new, and that edits are only possible where you explicitly authorise update tools. Regional endpoints match where your tenant is hosted. Granular sensitive-data controls are listed on the Enterprise Plus plan.
