Third-Party Risk Deep-Dive: How to Operate Your Program

Apr 29 / IT GRC Forum
Procurement, IT, and compliance leaders face increasing challenges managing complex regulations, expansive supply chains, and growing third-party relationships, including suppliers, sales agents, and charities. These third-party risks can significantly impact your organization’s brand, operations, and bottom line if not effectively managed.

This webinar explores how organizations can streamline third-party risk management (TPRM) by reducing manual processes and leveraging digital tools to improve visibility, efficiency, and compliance. Attendees will learn actionable strategies to operate successful TPRM programs, including defining KPIs to measure effectiveness, demonstrating the impact and benefits of risk management strategies, and integrating Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) functions into your processes.

The session also shares real-world examples of TPRM programs, highlighting best practices and lessons learned from programs that succeeded—and those that fell short.

Join this expert panel to gain practical insights into optimizing TPRM, mitigating compliance and operational risks, and building stronger, more resilient third-party relationships in today’s complex regulatory and business environment.
