Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)

Organisations rely on a diverse ecosystem of suppliers, outsourcing providers, cloud platforms, technology vendors, and strategic partners to support critical operations. While these relationships create efficiencies and enable growth, they also introduce operational, cyber, regulatory, financial, and reputational risks. Effective third-party risk management helps organisations strengthen oversight, reduce vulnerabilities, and maintain operational resilience.

Participants will develop practical knowledge in governance design, supplier risk assessment, due diligence methodologies, cyber risk oversight, ESG risk evaluation, supplier resilience, continuous monitoring, and executive reporting. The course focuses on building a structured approach that supports effective vendor risk management throughout the entire third-party lifecycle.

Risk-based due diligence enables organisations to allocate resources efficiently by focusing greater attention on suppliers and vendors that present higher exposure. By implementing supplier tiering, classification models, and proportionate assessment processes, organisations can improve decision-making, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen third-party governance.

A key component of the course focuses on cyber and technology-related risks, including cloud services, SaaS providers, digital supply chains, fourth-party dependencies, and artificial intelligence vendors. Participants learn how recognised frameworks and assessment methodologies can be applied to improve cyber resilience and supply chain security.

The course examines practical approaches to supply chain mapping, dependency analysis, supplier diversification, ESG risk assessment, responsible sourcing, and geopolitical risk management. Participants learn how these practices strengthen resilience while supporting sustainability, ethical business conduct, and long-term organisational performance.

This course is highly beneficial for professionals responsible for risk management, procurement, sourcing, compliance, governance, information security, business continuity, internal audit, supplier management, and operational resilience. It is also valuable for executives and board members seeking greater oversight of third-party risk across the extended enterprise.
