What is Third-Party Risk? | UpGuard

Learn about new features, changes, and improvements to UpGuard: Third-party risk is any risk brought on to an organization by external parties in its ecosystem or supply chain. While an organization may have strong cybersecurity measures in place and a solid remediation plan, outside parties, such as third-party vendors, may not uphold the same standards.

The immediate action you will need to take to mitigate third-party risks depends on the status of your organization’s third-party risk management (TPRM) program.

Information security teams must attend to all other facets of your organization’s security program and may not have the necessary capability to thoroughly manage third-party risk. CyberResearch by UpGuard helps organizations mitigate their third-party risks by discovering and remediating vendor data leaks and vulnerabilities using real-time data and workflows.
