Why third party risk matters now more than ever
As Saudi Arabia’s business landscape evolves, the reliance on third-party vendors, suppliers, and contractors continues to grow. With this expansion comes an increasing need to identify, assess, and mitigate third-party risks, from cybersecurity threats and regulatory compliance issues to reputational damage and operational disruptions.
The TPRM Saudi Conference provided attendees a focused lens on third-party risk, providing tools, strategies, and best practices to strengthen risk frameworks in line with regional and global expectations. Topics covered included:
- Building a robust TPRM framework
- Cybersecurity risks introduced by external parties
- Navigating evolving regulatory requirements
- Best practices for supplier due diligence
- Crisis management and business continuity
The event brought together risk managers, procurement professionals, compliance officers, cybersecurity experts, and C-level executives to network and share insights in an ever-shifting regulatory landscape.
