o Engage with stakeholders to communicate assessment results, address security concerns, and collaborate on potential remediation actions.
o Perform periodic reviews and reassessments of existing vendors to ensure ongoing compliance and address evolving risks.
• Contract Negotiation:
o Partner with Legal and Procurement teams during contract negotiations to ensure security, privacy, and other relevant risk clauses are adequately addressed.
o Provide expert guidance on acceptable and unacceptable contract terms related to risk management, service level agreements (SLAs), and data protection.
o Work to define and include clear performance standards, due diligence requirements, and exit strategies within contracts.
• TPRM program development and maintenance:
o Support the development, maintenance, and enhancement of the organization's Third-Party Risk Management program and framework.
o Develop and update TPRM procedures to ensure alignment with organizational policies and regulatory requirements.
o Identify and implement process efficiencies within the TPRM program and perform analyses on team metrics to enhance effectiveness.
• Stakeholder collaboration and communication:
o Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders across departments such as Legal, Procurement, Information Security, and Business Units.
o Provide TPRM guidance and training to Vendor Relationship Owners and business partners on risk management practices.
o Communicate identified risks, assessment results, and mitigation strategies to stakeholders, including senior management, clearly and concisely.
• Ongoing monitoring and remediation:
o Track identified risks associated with third parties and ensure timely reviews are performed.
o Monitor key supplier performance against established SLAs and regulatory requirements.
