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.

DORA’s Register of Information (ROI) requirement has introduced a new layer of operational complexity – but it may also be the industry’s best opportunity to link contract oversight with business context and risk prioritization. This session explores how the ROI format can help third-party risk programs move beyond compliance checklists and into meaningful engagement with stakeholders across the organization. By treating DORA not just as a mandate but as a model, organizations can strengthen digital supply chain resilience while improving transparency, alignment, and efficiency across ICT risk management efforts.

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.

Back by popular demand, this Product Forum takes a fresh look at the Vendor Risk Management Maturity Model (VRMMM)–a cornerstone tool for evaluating and advancing third-party risk programs. Whether you're new to the model or ready to take your assessment to the next level, this session will walk you through the latest applications and real-world insights. Developed with the support of industry leaders, the VRMMM enables organizations to benchmark their third-party risk management (TPRM) practices, assess program maturity, and create a clear, actionable roadmap for improvement. We'll also highlight how the VRMMM supports investment justification, program tracking over time, and even external use cases like M&A due diligence. Join us to explore how this powerful tool continues to evolve alongside your program needs.

Join us for an engaging Member Forum Call where we'll explore how AI and automation are transforming Third Party Risk Management (TPRM). Our discussion will highlight practical use cases, including leveraging AI to parse security documentation and populate SIG assessments, as well as implementing AI-powered chatbots to streamline the intake process for business owners. This conversation will provide valuable insights into how AI can improve efficiency, reduce vendor burden, and enhance overall risk assessment processes. Whether you’re just starting to explore AI or actively implementing solutions, this session will offer actionable strategies to help you optimize your TPRM program.

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.
