    Episode 69: Vendor Risk Oversight and Auditing
    Jul 7 2025

    Vendor relationships introduce risk far beyond basic performance metrics—and in this episode, we dive into the executive oversight practices required to manage those risks. You’ll learn how to assess third-party risk using tiered models, risk questionnaires, and onsite audits. We also discuss how to require evidence of compliance, conduct assessments aligned to frameworks like ISO 27001 or SOC 2, and monitor ongoing vendor health through threat intelligence and financial viability reviews.

    We explore how to embed vendor risk into your broader governance strategy and how to integrate third-party risk data into enterprise risk dashboards. For the CCISO exam, expect questions that test your ability to detect, communicate, and act on vendor-related risks. This episode prepares you to lead third-party risk management as an ongoing, programmatic discipline—not just a checkbox during onboarding.
