Every successful Third-Party Risk Management program needs strategic governance in place to uphold and improve the program’s initiatives.

Many organizations don’t have the resources or bandwidth to hire a full-time TPRM department or even to appoint a TPRM committee. In fact, many organizations don’t even know who should be responsible for TPRM matters.

We understand that outsourcing business functions to third parties is essential in today’s business environment.  While outsourcing provides benefits such as increased efficiency and cost savings, it also increases an organization’s risk exposure to a myriad of threats presented by outsourcing.  Understanding how to identify and manage the risks presented by third party providers is vital for any business.
