Description
Innovation in User Experience for Third Party Management
Executive Summary
When the organization approaches information security in third party management in manual processes, there is no possibility to be intelligent about information security governance, risk management, and compliance in these relationships. An ad hoc approach to third party management results in poor visibility across the organization, because there is no framework or architecture for managing third party information security risk and compliance as an integrated framework. It is time for organizations to step back and define a strategy to define and govern risk in third party relationships that is supported and automated with information and technology.
