For most top-tier organizations, outsourcing key functions has become a necessary component to creating efficiencies in today’s complex economy. Organizations must develop comprehensive programs to include oversight for security, cybersecurity, technology, privacy, and business resiliency risk. Additionally, with all of the recent breaches occurring across a multitude of verticals, organizations must be dedicated to building a robust third party risk management program in order to protect themselves from financial and reputational risk.
However, may organizations – regardless of their size – simply don’t know where to start. Depending on the size of the organization, there can be thousands of third party relationships to manage. With the heightened regulatory expectations on vendor risk and the increased role of the board to ensure oversight, it can be an overwhelming task to monitor all possible risks.
