  1. Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) — Risk Management Course — Tsaaro What is Third-Party Risk Assessment? Third-party risk assessment is a process that identifies and assesses the risks of third parties to your organization. This can include suppliers, contractors and other service providers who have access to your data or systems. Third-party risk management program (TPRM) is an approach to managing third-party relationships by assessing their internal controls and processes so that you can mitigate any potential threats they may pose for your business. Third-party risk assessment is a valuable tool for organizations looking to improve their security posture. It can be used to assess the level of risk associated with third parties and determine how best to manage that risk, as well as identify areas where improvements can be made. Third party assessments are conducted by an independent party who has experience in performing these types of evaluations. They are often referred to as third party security assessments or cyber risk assessments, depending on the type of information being reviewed during the process. Understanding Third-Party Risk Assessment Third-party risk assessment is an important part of any business. It involves identifying and evaluating the risks associated with third parties, such as contractors and vendors. There are several types of third-party risk assessments: Internal — An internal assessment focuses on employees who have access to sensitive information or systems within your company. External — An external assessment evaluates those outside your organization, such as contractors or vendors that handle sensitive data on your behalf (for example, cloud providers). Vendor due diligence — This type of evaluation focuses specifically on vendors that handle customer data; it’s often used by companies who want to ensure they’re protecting customer information per GDPR. Regardless of what kind of third party you’re evaluating, there are some basic components every assessment should include:

  2. Types of Third-Party Risks Your company may be diligent about monitoring your immediate risk, but it’s important to remember that any risk threatening your suppliers or contractors can also affect your organization. Here are some risks you should consider for all third parties: Cybersecurity Risk It’s impossible in the modern era to run a company successfully without the internet. While technology can streamline and enhance your connections with third-party vendors, it can also create vulnerabilities that can lead to cyberattacks. A data breach at a vendor’s company can threaten your own customer data, so exercise caution with regards to cyber risk. Reputational Risk Safeguarding your company’s reputation is critical to your success and to building future relationships with customers and investors alike. The companies you choose to work with will reflect back on you, and reputational damage can be difficult to remedy. Operational Risk Operational risks are those risks that threaten the day-to-day procedures of your company. Any risks that affect the business continuity of your vendors will in turn affect your organization. Understanding the contingency plans and risk management strategies of your contractors will help assure that your own business operations continue to run smoothly. Regulatory Risk Any regulatory requirements that are necessary for your company also apply to any third parties working on your behalf. This is important to keep in mind when selecting your suppliers, as regulatory compliance failures caused by them can potentially be damaging and expensive for you. Strategic Risk This refers to any risks that could keep your company from achieving your future goals. Before undertaking any partnerships, it’s in your best interest to review your plans and make sure your new vendors are in line with your company’s priorities. Financial Risk Financial risk is the possibility that you will lose money after an investment or business decision. With third parties this could mean loss of money due to your selection of vendors, or a financial loss for the vendor itself which could result in supply chain

  3. Benefits of Third-Party Risk Assessment Reduce risks. Protect data. Improve compliance. Increase visibility. Third-Party Risk Assessment Process Identifying third-party risk: The first step in the process is to identify all third parties that have access to your company’s systems. This includes vendors, contractors and other organizations with whom you share data. Assessing the risks: Once you have a list of all third parties, it’s time to assess how much risk each poses. You should consider things like their location (e.g., if they’re located overseas), whether they were recently acquired by another company or if there have been any changes in leadership at the organization since its last assessment. You may also want to look into how well they’ve performed in past audits or compliance reviews. Monitoring third-party performance: Once you’ve assessed each organization’s security posture, monitor them regularly so that any issues can be addressed quickly before they become larger problems down the road — and remember that this monitoring doesn’t just apply when something goes wrong; keep an eye out for positive changes as well! Risk Management Course Risk management is a course that teaches you how to identify and manage risks. Risk management certification online is available through various organizations, including the International Association of Risk Management Professionals (IARM). Risk management certification online is a great way for professionals who work in the field of risk assessment and control to gain knowledge about the best practices in this area.
