Description Fact: Inherent risk is the most critical calculation in Third-Party Risk. When building an effective and efficient TPRM program, it's critical to understand which vendors, suppliers and business partners are most critical to your business operations, and which ones present the most risk. In times where TPRM resources are stretched thin, inherent risk helps your team prioritize which third parties get assessed, when they get assessed, and what's in scope. Join this webinar for expert advice and best practice on how to calculate inherent risk and put it to work for your program. Attendees will learn how to:

• • Develop inherent risk calculations and a scoring methodology
• • Tier your third parties by criticality and high risk
• • Scope and schedule assessments based on inherent risk scores
• • Leverage inherent risk ratings from assessment exchanges, data science and crowdsourcing
• • Prepare for next-generation inherent risk powered by artificial intelligence

Inspired by Miyamoto Musashi’s Water Book, this session reframes Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) through the lens of adaptability and flow. Rather than relying on rigid frameworks and static controls, we’ll explore how resilience is built through agility—by anticipating disruption, not reacting to it. Like water, effective TPRM should be responsive, balanced, and constantly in motion. We’ll examine practical strategies for creating a flexible, intelligence-driven approach to managing third-party ecosystems—one that aligns with modern risk realities and moves beyond checkbox compliance. This is about shifting mindset. Because in a world where risk moves fast, rigidity fails—and resilience flows.

While many of the top risks in today’s business environment are long-term in nature, there are also new and emerging dynamics within several traditional risk domains. This webinar will highlight those more fluid and changing nuances, providing insights into the top risks challenging today’s TPRM programs and suggesting potential actions for practitioners.

Part 2 of "From Compliance to Confidence: Elevating the Strategic Impact of Third-Party Risk Management." Leaders from Archer and Shared Assessments will share insights on how third-party risk management (TPRM) can drive a resilient business model. TPRM is often perceived as a checkbox exercise driven by regulatory requirements and internal protocols. Organizations may view it as an important risk and compliance function but often allocate just enough attention and resources to keep it running. Yet TPRM holds far more potential when we move beyond the standard approach. When fully leveraged, it becomes a powerful tool for shaping strategic decisions and enhancing long-term performance. It can reveal critical insights into the value chain, highlight emerging risks, and uncover opportunities for growth and innovation. Watch this webinar to learn about: • The need to expand TPRM programs beyond basic compliance requirements. • The strategic advantages of integrating TPRM into enterprise risk management and long-term planning. • Improved decision-making and stronger operational risk management enabled by unlocking the potential of a comprehensive TPRM approach.

The work never ends. Every year, we onboard more third parties. And every year, our assessment workload gets worse. More resources to help? Not going to happen. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. We have been at this process for years, but it continues to get worse for your team and the people in your company that rely on your third parties.

It doesn't have to be that way. It's time the flip the script and cut back on assessment questionnaires. Join us for a live webcast to learn how the newest risk exchange models are eliminating 80% of questionnaire requests with data. Our team of experts will outline how to:

- Instantly perform inherent risk analysis on your entire vendor portfolio
- Incorporate real-time risk data into your process to reduce questionnaire requests
- Map your questionnaire and controls to industry-standard frameworks or threat profiles to get the information you need with fewer questions
- Access assessment data on large, hard-to-assess third parties that don't respond to you
- Monitor 100% of your portfolio -- not just your critical vendors

TPRM doesn't have to be the most painful process in your company. Join us and start your program's evolution.

Explore the latest findings from the 2025 Critical Third-Party Survey as panelists analyze key trends and compare them with the 2023 results. This session provides an updated perspective on critical third parties, highlighting the impact of increasing global regulatory scrutiny. Join this engaging and interactive discussion where experts will bridge the gap between identifying and quantifying critical third parties and integrating these insights into TPRM processes. Topics will include defining inherent risk criteria, employing effective risk tiering techniques and models, and leveraging tools such as Shared Assessments' TPSIRR framework. Gain practical strategies to enhance your organization's approach to managing critical third parties in today’s dynamic risk landscape.

Modern third-party risk management (TPRM) programs do more than just mitigate risk or check a compliance box—they create measurable business value. But many TPRM teams are set up to fail with a reactive, resource-intensive approach. In this session, you’ll learn how to flip that script with streamlined, value-generating TPRM that supports business resilience and growth. We’ll explore how:

- AI-powered, automated vendor risk assessments make your team more effective at identifying and mitigating risk in a fraction of the time
- Modern TPRM moves away from lengthy questionnaires toward insight-rich, on-demand security data
- Greater efficiency leaves you with extra resources that can be re-allocated to business-critical tasks

If you’ve ever been called a “cost center” or “necessary evil” (or if you just want more time back in your day), this is the session for you!
