Managing Third Party Vendor Risk
Build and run a third-party / vendor risk management (TPRM) program aligned to NIST SP 800-161 C-SCRM and NIST CSF 2.0 GV.SC: inventory and tier vendors by risk, send the right due-diligence questionnaire (SIG, CAIQ), review evidence (SOC 2, ISO 27001, pen-test reports), set contractual security and right-to-audit clauses, monitor vendors continuously, manage Nth-party / subcontractor risk, and offboard securely. Use when an organization needs to assess a new vendor before onboarding, when standing up or maturing a vendor-risk program, when tiering a vendor portfolio, when reviewing a SOC 2 or CAIQ, when writing security requirements into a contract or DPA, when a vendor suffers a breach, or when managing supply-chain / software supply-chain risk.
