Point-in-time assessments are obsolete the moment they are submitted. To protect your organization from modern supply chain breaches, your Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) program must shift to real-time, continuous monitoring. In this streamlined 60-minute session, we cover the essentials to build a proactive defense: • The Visibility Gap: How continuous monitoring catches threats that annual questionnaires miss. • Smart Implementation: Strategies for selecting the right threat data without causing alert fatigue. • Proven Results: Real-world examples of automated alerts stopping vendor threats before they hit your network. Join us to transform your TPRM from a static compliance checklist into a dynamic defense mechanism.

All Committees – “Inside Third-Party Risk Board Reporting: Roles, Best Practices, and Lessons Learned”

Thursday, June 18, 2026 | 11:30am – 1:00pm ET
Effective board-level reporting on third-party risk doesn't happen by accident—it requires coordination across the organization, from the analysts pulling data to the executives framing the narrative. Rising incidents and emerging risks like AI and geopolitical disruption are driving boards to demand greater visibility into how risk is being identified, measured, and managed.

We'll examine what boards need to see and why, explore best practices for making metrics meaningful rather than merely voluminous, and share candid lessons learned—including common pitfalls and what not to do.

Whether you're early in your TPRM journey or refining a mature program, you'll leave with practical takeaways for strengthening the quality, clarity, and credibility of your board reporting.

July 2026 Member Forum | SOC II Under the Microscope: Rethinking Trust, Quality, and Risk

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 | 11:00am-12:00pm ET
As reliance on SOC II reports grows within TPRM programs, organizations face a significant challenge: determining how much trust to place in the reports they receive. Recent AICPA guidance has heightened scrutiny on SOC II engagements, particularly flagging risk tied to templated, high-volume assessments that may not reflect each organization’s unique risk profile. Join Shared Assessments and Bill Deller (Schneider Downs) to examine what these developments mean for both issuers and users of SOC II reports. This session will highlight emerging concerns around overreliance on platforms, inconsistent quality, and the diminishing role of professional judgement. Participants will share techniques on how to better evaluate SOC II reports by identifying red flags, asking more effective questions of providers, and aligning report analysis with broader TPRM practices. Register to look beyond the report to understand what matters!
