Starting or taking over a third-party risk management (TPRM) program can be a great career opportunity, especially as vendor data breaches and supply chain disruptions continue to make headlines. However, owning a TPRM practice is not for the faint of heart.

If you’re charged with running a TPRM program, then you may have hundreds or thousands of vendors, suppliers, and other partners to assess – each posing a unique set of risks to your organization. It’s no wonder that many third-party risk professionals have a tough time determining where to start, what to ask, and what to do with the results.

Prevalent is here to help. We’ve tapped into 17+ years of experience in third-party risk management to identify the most critical decisions you’ll need to make when establishing (or fixing) your TPRM program.
