Looking for a clear, current guide to Third-Party and Vendor Risk Management? Third-Party and Vendor Risk Management is a 52-page illustrated PDF from the oJAYo team. Managing the security risks your suppliers bring.
Every organization depends on others: cloud platforms, software vendors, IT support firms, payment processors, consultants and the suppliers behind them. Each relationship can bring security risk into your organization. Third-party risk management (TPRM), also called vendor risk management, is how you find, assess, reduce and monitor that risk.
This beginner’s book explains why third-party risk has become one of the biggest causes of breaches, how to build an inventory and tier vendors by risk, how to perform due diligence, what to put in contracts, how to monitor vendors continuously, how to control vendor access and SaaS integrations, and how to respond when a vendor is breached.
