From Compliance to Confidence: Navigating Regulatory Changes and Data Privacy through the Supply Chain

Third party risk management is rapidly rising up the priority list with organizations relying on increasing complex ecosystems of vendors, partners and third parties. Securing this “extended enterprise” requires the perfect balance of input from not only procurement, but supply chain leaders, risk management, and technical resources.

To ensure this collaboration is successful it is essential to maintain a TPRM framework, program, and resources that can proactively identify potential risks and manage them effectively.

Join industry peers and TPRM experts from MorganFranklin Consulting and ProcessUnity at this upcoming event to learn how leading organizations are addressing growing regulatory pressure and creating scalable models for third-party risk management and reduction. During this interactive session, you will have the opportunity to share experiences and discuss hot topics including:

· Addressing the challenges of growing regulatory pressure,

· Emerging technologies and the use of AI to accelerate due diligence efforts,

· Best practices identifying and mitigating potential critical vulnerabilities in your cyber supply chain.
