The Resilience Blueprint: The Three Pillars Top Companies Use That Others Overlook

Who owns third-party risk? If your answer is “vendor management,” that’s the first blind spot. Fragmented workflows across legal, compliance, risk, and procurement let issues slip through the cracks—turning isolated gaps into organization-wide incidents. Cross-department collaboration isn’t optional; it’s the control.

In this session, legal and risk experts Liz Lugones and Madeline Reigh will explore how to break down silos between departments, build a unified strategy, and strengthen your organization’s ability to anticipate, manage, and respond to third-party threats.

Key Discussion Points:
- The ripple effect of risk: Why third-party incidents create consequences across legal, compliance, and business operations.
- Legal’s role in vendor risk: From contract enforcement to breach response, how legal is central to third-party governance.
- Breaking silos for better outcomes: Practical steps to align teams, improve visibility, and strengthen incident response.
- Technology as the connector: How automation and data-driven insights can bridge gaps across departments.
