Surveys of compliance and risk professionals cite that companies work with on average over 3,800 third-party partners. 62% of surveyed organizations have business models that rely heavily on vendors. Additionally, the sheer volume and complexity of laws and regulations that hold companies accountable for the actions of third-party partners continues to mount.
