It sounds ironic, maybe even a little paradoxical, but it might just take hiring a third party to help an organization assess and mitigate the risk posed by their other third-party partners. For organizations that cannot or prefer not to spearhead this task internally, MSSPs can provide a scalable and consistent third-party risk assessment program that yields insightful, enforceable and actionable recommendations. This session will examine the benefits of having MSSPs evaluate third-party partnerships that exist outside of their clients’ organizational boundaries, plus best practices when conducting outsourced risk assessments.
