Shared Assessments is a global membership organization dedicated to developing the best practices, education, and tools to drive third party risk assurance. We are creators of the industry standard third party risk toolkit, used by over 15,000 organizations worldwide. 

Third-Party Risk Management programs must manage a delicate balance between keeping up with new threats, navigating the evolving regulatory landscape, introducing new technologies, and always trying to do more with less. Join TPRM experts for a discussion on how forward-thinking TPRM teams are managing this balance by incorporating new relationships, technologies and techniques to mature their risk-reduction capabilities.

Beyond the Questionnaire: Tips to Modernize Your TPRM Program

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies are evolving rapidly, bringing the potential to transform Third Party Risk Programs and paving the way for remarkable efficiencies. With great promise comes significant risk that must be understood and mitigated. Dive into the cutting-edge world of AI and ML solutions for Third Party Risk Management. Panelists will share their expertise and preview Shared Assessments’ AI/ML Risk domain and associated controls aligning with NIST AI RMF.

Navigating the Risk & Reward of AI & Machine Learning

Managing the third-party lifecycle involves stakeholders across many business units: information security, privacy, legal, finance, procurement, and others. When these teams collaborate to streamline workflows, efficiency can be realized in contracting and holding third parties accountable for their obligations. This session will focus on weaving contracting into the third-party lifecycle to limit risk exposure while automating processes. You will learn:

• How to align third-party risk management and contracting/procurement teams
• Insights on types of risk that can be managed through contracting
• Best practices to limit risk exposure through contracting
• Ways to monitor your third parties and their contractual obligations

Where Contracting Fits in the Third-Party Risk Lifecycle: 5 Opportunities

In this session, we will show the ESG SIG product alongside a discussion of use cases, key features and benefits. We will touch on the regulations, standards and frameworks mapped to by the ESG SIG and learn how this solution was made.

ESG SIG Product Launch Webinar

The “cloud-first” strategy at many companies today translates into an ever-increasing number of third-parties, and even greater number of risks. While cybersecurity technology is better than ever, in a world where so much of every business operation is outsourced, your third-parties’ attack surface is your attack surface -- and your existing cyber stack may not help you. This webinar will explore the top 5 tips to effectively scale a third-party cyber risk management program in order to manage the mounting number of third-parties.

Top 5 Tips to Scale Your Third-Party Security Risk Program

We’ll discuss:

• Why ESG matters to third party (and Nth party) risk management
• EU and German Supply Chain Due Diligence Regulations (environment and human rights) and what sets them apart from other ESG regulations
• Newly approved EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Regulation and SEC Climate Reporting proposal
• ESG and the U.S. 2024 election’s impact on regulations
• ESG Standards consolidation – ISSB
• Proposed New York State Department of Financial Service Guidance for New York State Regulated Banking and Mortgage Institutions Relating to Management of Material Financial Risks from Climate Change and existing Insurance industry guidance
• Bank of England observations on climate related risks

Diverging Paths In ESG Regulation?

Leveraging third parties can lead to significant efficiencies, but it is not without risk. This session will explore criteria used to establish inherent risk and provide approaches for assessing a critical third-party relationship.

Panelists will share the results of a recent Shared Assessments Critical Third-Party Survey covering TPRM processes including: Risk Tiering Techniques; Inherent Risk Criteria; Critical Third Party Criteria; Number of Critical Third Parties and Assessment Timeframe Approvals. Additionally, panelists will highlight work being done by Shared Assessments members on an Inherent Risk Product.

From speculating that vendors have terrifying security posture to guessing that vendors have water-tight security practices, organizations make assumptions around cybersecurity too often. What does the cybersecurity standing between business and their vendors actually look like? In a new study, RiskRecon by Mastercard and Cyentia Institute examine security assessments across more than 50,000 B2B relationships. Through this data, this session will illustrate:
<ul><li>• The likelihood of your firm or a firm you are working being involved in a breach event</li>
<li>• How firms can be exposed to a variety of new security risks via third parties</li>
<li>• The impact of poor assessment practices on your cybersecurity standing</li>
