Beyond the Backlog: Why Tech and Talent Aren't Fixing Your TPRM Questionnaires
Webinar
The current state of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is at a breaking point. Many organizations have doubled down on the two "solutions": buying GRC automation or hiring more analysts. Despite these investments, assessment backlogs continue to climb.
The bottleneck isn't a lack of resources. Standard cycle times for vendor reviews currently average six weeks, but can drag on for up to a year, turning what should be a security check into a months-long coordination exercise. To clear the backlog, organizations must realize that they don't just need better tools or more people; they need a fundamental shift in strategy. This webinar explores a methodology that prioritizes efficiency and business outcomes.
What You'll Learn
- Why "one-size-fits-all" questionnaires and jargon-heavy, open-ended questions lead to vendor confusion and process stalls.
- Why adding more technology or staff fail to resolve backlogs if the underlying process still requires manual, labor-intensive audits of every vendor policy.
- How to redesign your assessment scope by moving toward standardized responses and using external data to fill blind spots when vendors are unresponsive.
