Modern organizations rely on complex vendor ecosystems, but third-party risk management (TPRM) and cybersecurity often operate in silos. This book shows how to connect vendor risk management with supply chain cybersecurity using a practical, lifecycle-driven approach.You’ll design a program covering onboarding, vendor risk assessment, continuous monitoring, and offboarding. You’ll begin by examining why TPRM and cybersecurity often operate in separate lanes, and what that gap costs in downtime, breach impact, and compliance exposure. Next, you’ll develop a modern taxonomy of supply chain risk, including fourth-party dependencies and software supply chain concerns, so risk discussions use consistent categories and measurable assumptions.
From there, you’ll adopt a lifecycle-based model to structure vendor onboarding, assessment, monitoring, and offboarding—supported by vendor tiering, segmentation, and control mapping. The final chapter focuses on the regulatory blueprint: how to interpret NIST C-SCRM, ISO/IEC 27036, DORA, GDPR, and Executive Order 14028, then convert them into evidence-driven controls and audit-ready documentation.
