Episode 68 — Integrate Third-Party Risks Into Enterprise Risk Management End to End
This episode explains how to integrate third-party risks into enterprise risk management end to end, which matters for ISSMP because vendor risks must be expressed, treated, and reported in the same governance language as internal risks. You will learn how to capture third-party risk statements with clear ownership, map them to business services and data flows, and ensure risk treatment decisions account for contract terms, shared responsibility boundaries, and evidence limitations. We use scenarios like a vendor exception that raises residual risk, a partner integration that expands attack surface, and a supplier dependency that increases availability risk, showing how to keep third-party risk visible and actionable. Best practices include consistent risk taxonomy, linkage to contract controls and monitoring, and governance routines that prevent third-party risk from being siloed in procurement or security alone.
