Risks in today’s fast-paced environment are continuing to evolve with respect to third-parties. With so many employees working remotely, we increasingly depend on third-party technologies, external data sources and outside service providers. This makes identifying and managing your organization’s cybersecurity and privacy risks more critical than ever before.
Join GRF’s Risk & Advisory experts for an interactive discussion exploring how third-party risk programs are meeting security expectations, highlighting areas where many organizations are falling short, and identifying possible solutions to close these gaps.
Topics and Questions
- The value of third-party risk management (TPRM) in your organization
- TPRM’s role in cybersecurity and privacy
- Is your current third-party oversight adequate? Does your organization’s risk management of third parties occur throughout the lifespan of the relationship, or primarily just during the onboarding process?
- How to develop your organization’s TPRM framework in an efficient and cost effective manner while also maintaining baseline security and privacy expectations
For a primer on third-party risk management, read our article, Third-Party Risk in a Post-Pandemic World. You can also use our risk checklists to assess your organization’s current third-party risk.
