The ROI of TPRM: Creating Business Value in Your Vendor Risk Program

Wednesday, February 5, 2025 | 11:00am-12:00pm ET
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!
