The State of Third-Party Risk Management in 2025

Rebalancing the Risk Ecosystem

The third-party risk ecosystem is under unprecedented pressure from regulatory upheaval to resource strain, creating a watershed moment for TPRM professionals. This exclusive webinar features GRC visionary Michael Rasmussen and Mitratech's Henry Umney as they explore the current state of the TPRM ecosystem - its pressures, imbalances, and opportunities through new research insights and deep industry experience.

Why Attend

Third-party risk is no longer a back-office issue but a front-line business imperative that demands strategic attention. This session provides direct insights from two of the most respected voices in the space as they examine what's next for organizations navigating a complex, evolving, and deeply interdependent risk environment where traditional approaches are proving insufficient.

Key Learning Areas

Participants will gain insights into critical TPRM challenges and opportunities:

Resource and Staffing Challenges: Understanding why nearly 70% of TPRM programs remain understaffed while managing less than half their vendor base

Regulatory Impact: Examining how increasing regulatory scrutiny is reshaping compliance roles in third-party risk management

Operational Inefficiencies: Identifying where organizations struggle with manual tools and fragmented oversight approaches

AI Integration: Learning how AI adoption is gaining cautious momentum and what early adopters are implementing differently

Future-Ready TPRM: Determining what resilient third-party risk management looks like in 2025 and strategies for rebalancing your ecosystem

What to Expect

Grounded in insights from "Rebalancing the Risk Ecosystem: The 2025 Mitratech TPRM Study," this conversation examines a risk environment where organizational reach is expanding but foundational capabilities remain underdeveloped. Participants will explore practical strategies for strengthening TPRM frameworks while adapting to evolving regulatory expectations and business requirements.
