Applying COBIT to Vendor Risk Management

Author: ISACA
Date Published: 13 November 2019

Almost all enterprises today employ third-party vendors or suppliers. When outsourcing any product or service, risk must be assessed. Successful enterprises separate themselves from unsuccessful ones in how they govern and manage their risk, especially around third parties. While there are many different standards and documents that outline how to manage third-party risk, the COBIT framework provides a holistic solution.

To explore the dynamic world of managing risk using COBIT as a framework, attend the “Managing Third-Party Risk With COBIT” webinar presented by ISACA. This webinar, which takes place on 14 November at 11AM CST (UTC -6 hours), will use real-world examples to illustrate the practices and activities enterprises should implement into their risk management processes. ISACA members can earn 1 continuing professional education (CPE) hour by attending this webinar and completing a related survey.
