Measuring What Matters in Third-Party Risk: From Assessment Volume to Business Exposure

November 17th at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT

Most TPRM programs can report how many vendor assessments they completed last quarter. Fewer can show whether those assessments actually reduced risk. When scoring varies by reviewer, evidence goes stale between review cycles, and remediation isn’t tracked to completion, completion counts reveal very little about an organization’s vendor risk posture.

Join Michael Rasmussen of GRC 20/20 Research and David Zambrano, Director of GRC at Hyperproof, to learn how to align TPRM metrics with business impact. Michael will share his research on why vendor criticality and exposure matter more than assessment volume. David will explain how GRC teams use AI-powered assessments and a centralized system of record to measure and report vendor risk with confidence.

What we cover:

Activity vs. outcomes: Why completion counts fall short, and how to track the shift from inherent to residual risk

Criticality beyond spend: Why contract value is a weak proxy for vendor risk, and how to prioritize based on data access and the services a vendor supports

Consistency as a prerequisite: How standardized, AI-assisted assessments make vendor risk comparable across teams and business units

Closing the gap between reviews: How continuous monitoring and remediation tracking keep vendor risk data current between assessment cycles

Board-ready reporting: How to present TPRM as a strategic capability backed by defensible, auditable risk data

Learn how to measure your third-party risk program by the risk it reduces, and give leadership the confidence to act.
