Third-Party Risk Management: Trends and Strategies to Help You Stay Ahead of the Curve

While organizations have drastically increased their use of third parties, third-party risk management (TPRM) maturity hasn’t kept pace. This ebook from AuditBoard and RSM, Third-Party Risk Management: Trends and Strategies to Help You Stay Ahead of the Curve, translates current TPRM trends and lessons learned into actionable ideas to help your organization identify, reduce, and monitor third-party risk.

Only 12% of organizations rate their third-party risk management (TPRM) program as highly mature in a recent AuditBoard poll of over 1,000 internal audit and risk management leaders. While organizations have drastically increased their use of third parties, TPRM maturity hasn’t kept pace.

Today’s volatile risk climate requires us to think differently and view risk with an understanding of an organization’s reliance on third parties for mission-critical business processes. Has your organization prioritized resiliency around the critical processes supported by third parties? Organizations must learn how to leverage TPRM-enabling technologies and data to create strategic value and drive continuous risk reduction across the third-party surface area.
