In the interconnected business landscape, the effective management of third-party risks is more crucial than ever. Companies depend on a range of external partners, vendors, and suppliers to function smoothly and drive innovation. Nevertheless, these collaborations also bring about substantial risks that have the potential to affect business activities, reputation, and adherence to regulations.
