Managing third-party relationships is a rising priority for many organizations. Procurement is no longer the main concern; the potential damage of a data breach, compliance issue, or service disruption keep senior management up at night.

To improve vendor due diligence, your team needs technology to standardize, centralize, and automate your third-party risk management (TPRM) activities. To help you get started, we’ve put together a checklist of 11 must-have features to look for in a TPRM solution and why they’re important, including:

IT risk is constantly evolving because of changing regulations and the design of IT systems themselves. However, assigning ownership of IT risk is unusually difficult which leaves your organization vulnerable to cyberattacks.

In this eBook, we explore today’s IT risk drivers and share best practices to establish clear policies and roles for risk assessment, mitigation, and monitoring—for better visibility and assurance. You’ll learn:

• What unique factors are driving the increase of IT risk today
• How to overcome the challenges of assigning ownership of IT risk
• How IT and internal audit can work together to build a better approach

In order to rise above the competition and increase market share, companies need to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. They need to break free of siloed departments and build collaborative enterprises where information is readily accessible.

To achieve this goal, one of the most valuable opportunities to consider is integrated risk management (IRM).

This eBook will show you:

• What IRM is and how it differs from ERP and GRC
• How you can use IRM to gain a competitive edge
• What to look for in an IRM solution

To drive an effective and informed response to today’s dynamic risk landscape, IT teams need real-time insights into critical risk and control areas that impact organizational objectives.

Join tomorrow's CPE-approved webinar and learn how to design, implement, and maintain 15 must-have KRIs for sound IT risk management. You’ll also discover:

• Why KPIs, KRIs, and KCIs are important in today’s IT risk landscape
• Examples of leading, lagging, and current KRIs and what makes them most effective
• How to establish the right KRIs for IT governance at your organization

TPRM programs are getting larger and more complex. With more vendors—who introduce greater risk—your organization needs efficient ways to take on this challenge and deliver more assurance to senior management.
