A Third-Party Risk Management Masterclass

Sep 24 / IT GRC Forum

Third-party risk management (TPRM) programs are essential for mitigating risks introduced by vendors and suppliers, yet many organizations find their current approaches fall short. Research from the Ponemon Institute reveals that nearly 61% of U.S. companies have experienced a data breach caused by a third party, highlighting the urgent need for more effective TPRM strategies.


Building an efficient TPRM program starts with understanding which vendors present the highest risk and which are critical to your business operations. By prioritizing efforts on key third parties, organizations can onboard essential vendors more quickly, allocate resources effectively, and enhance due diligence processes to better monitor and manage risks.


This expert panel webinar will provide actionable insights to optimize your TPRM program. Attendees will learn how to overcome common vendor risk challenges, streamline assessments, prioritize third parties, encourage internal collaboration, and establish a continuous improvement cycle. Discover how to leverage TPRM tools efficiently and improve overall security, operational performance, and vendor relationships.
