Keys to Building Your

Third-Party Risk Management Program

Effective third-party risk management for critical infrastructure requires more than identifying which vendors have access to your environment. Organizations must evaluate vendor access across multiple dimensions, including physical, remote, and logical access, the sensitivity of exposed systems and data, and the frequency of interactions.

By assessing these factors, cybersecurity and compliance teams can better understand the true risk profile of third-party vendors, prioritize mitigation efforts, reduce operational vulnerabilities, and ensure alignment with industry regulations such as NERC CIP, NIST, and CMMC. A strong vendor access evaluation process is essential to securing the supply chain and maintaining resilience across IT, OT, and cloud environments.
