What is Third-Party Security Risk Management (TPSRM)?

Third-Party Security Risk Management (TPSRM) is a critical process that ensures external entities like vendors, suppliers, and partners comply with an organization’s security standards when they access or handle sensitive data. TPSRM involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks to protect against data breaches and maintain compliance with relevant regulations. It is essential in managing the security of third-party interactions, safeguarding sensitive and regulated data, and ensuring these entities do not introduce security vulnerabilities.

Why is TPSRM necessary?

Organizations increasingly rely on a diverse range of third parties, including vendors, service providers, and partners, to support their operations. However, this ecosystem of third-party relationships also expands the attack surface, making organizations more susceptible to cyber threats and data breaches. A single security lapse in a third party’s systems can have devastating consequences for the organization, including financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory non-compliance. Moreover, with the rise of supply chain attacks and the evolving regulatory landscape, TPSRM has become a critical necessity for organizations across all industries. By proactively managing third-party security risks, organizations can safeguard their sensitive data, maintain business continuity, and build trust with their stakeholders.

How can a GRC Assessment Platform help with TPSRM?

A GRC Assessment Platform like Isora streamlines Third-Party Security Risk Management (TPSRM) by offering a centralized system for teams to collaboratively conduct and manage third-party security risk assessments. It features user-friendly surveys and questionnaires to streamline evidence collection and response gathering from third parties. Additionally, Isora supports the creation and maintenance of a comprehensive third-party inventory, allowing organizations to systematically track and evaluate the security posture of each external partner.

What's the difference between TPSRM, TPRM, and VRM?

TPRM (Third-Party Risk Management) is a comprehensive approach that manages risks from all third-party interactions, encompassing various risk categories beyond just security. VRM (Vendor Risk Management) is a subset of TPRM, focusing on risks associated with vendors and service providers. In contrast, TPSRM (Third-Party Security Risk Management) specifically targets security risks associated with third parties, addressing the unique threats they pose. While TPRM and VRM cover broader risk aspects, TPSRM is focused on safeguarding against security vulnerabilities introduced by external entities with access to the organization’s data or systems.
