Synopsis

In today’s interconnected world, organisations rely on third parties for critical services like IT solutions and outsourced operations, driving efficiency and innovation but also introducing risks that can disrupt operations, challenge resilience, and attract regulatory scrutiny. This presentation explores how businesses can strengthen their operational framework by integrating third-party risk management (TPRM) into a comprehensive risk management framework, using real-life case studies to illustrate key points and lessons learned.

Embedding TPRM within the risk management framework ensures a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating third-party risks while aligning with organizational objectives and regulatory requirements. This integration fosters proactive risk management through consistent policies, risk assessment tools, and continuous monitoring.

During the session, we will discuss practical steps to identify and mitigate third-party risks, strategies to embed resilience across the supply chain, and key regulatory expectations from Singapore MAS and the EU. Through real-world examples, such as a major data breach caused by a third-party vendor or a supply chain disruption during a global crisis, we will highlight critical lessons learned, emphasizing the importance of robust due diligence and effective contingency planning.

Participants will gain actionable insights to enhance governance, build trust, and ensure compliance while safeguarding their organization’s long-term operational resilience. 

Why This Webinar Matters

As organisations increasingly depend on third-party providers for critical operations, the risk landscape has expanded beyond internal controls. Disruptions originating from vendors, service providers, or supply chains can rapidly cascade into significant operational, financial, and reputational impacts.

This webinar addresses a pressing need: how to move beyond traditional vendor management into a fully integrated Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) approach aligned with operational resilience and regulatory expectations.

With regulators such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and European authorities tightening oversight, organisations must adopt structured, proactive, and evidence-based frameworks.

Participants will gain clarity on how to:

• Strengthen governance and oversight of third-party relationships
• Integrate TPRM into enterprise-wide risk and resilience frameworks
• Align practices with evolving regulatory requirements
• Build resilience across increasingly complex supply chains
