Today’s complex risk, regulatory, and audit environments are undergoing rapid changes that affect almost every key outsourcing relationship. New Artificial Intelligence regulations are emerging at multiple levels (state, national, and regional), with divergence clearly evident. International jurisdictions are continually revising outsourcing codes (for example, in the European Union and the UK), and sustainability requirements in key regions are evolving rapidly, sometimes diverging. In a regulatory environment with this much flux, it is more important than ever that TPRM practitioners understand not just local outsourcing requirements, but also the direction of regulatory changes internationally.

Join us for an in-depth look at the Standardized Information Gathering Questionnaire (SIG) and its evolution into the web based SIG EV platform. This session will focus exclusively on the SIG Excel and SIG EV, demonstrating how organizations can modernize their third-party risk management approach.

The team will walk through how the SIG Evolution (SIG EV) serves as a SaaS-based upgrade to the traditional SIG Excel, offering a more intuitive interface, secure information sharing, live dashboards, built-in file validation, and role-based access. You’ll also gain clarity on when to leverage each version—whether you’re a vendor responding to assessments or an outsourcer managing third-party risk. This session is ideal for those exploring Third-Party Risk Management tools and looking to streamline their assessment processes using industry-standard frameworks.

Participants focus on how to incorporate sustainability considerations into Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) programs. Participants from all organizations with an interest in sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) considerations, regardless of level of TPRM experience, are welcome.  

The Committee has an educational focus, informing members about evolving sustainability frameworks, policies, metrics, procedures, regulations, etc., in the context of TPRM.  It is a forum for individuals from mature organizations with extensive experience to share insights with those organizations just beginning their sustainability journeys. Outside experts are occasionally brought in to share “best practices” related to their organization’s sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and ESG journey.  

Additionally, input from this group is considered in developing Shared Assessments Products, including the SIG, SCA, and VRMMM.
