TPRM is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating the potential risks that third-party vendors or partners pose to an organization’s data, operations, and reputation.
With growing digital transformations, organizations are increasingly reliant on third parties exposing them to several risks such as cybersecurity, data privacy, financial, regulatory and more. Managing third-party risks helps protect sensitive data, maintain business continuity, and safeguard the organization’s reputation.
Third parties can introduce risks related to data breaches, compliance violations, financial instability, supply chain disruptions, and more.
Identification involves evaluating factors such as vendor access to sensitive data, the nature of the relationship, and the vendor’s security practices.
