As institutional operating models become more interconnected\, the risk perimeter now extends well beyond the organization’s walls — creating new exposure across cybersecurity\, privacy\, compliance\, financial performance\, operational resilience\, reputation\, and patient trust. Third-party risk is no longer a narrow vendor management review. It requires an integrated approach that incorporates governance\, risk management\, and controls across the full third-party life cycle — from selection and contracting to onboarding\, ongoing monitoring\, issue management\, and offboarding. \n\n\n\nAs a trusted advisor and in accordance with the IIA Third Party Topical Requirements\, it is important that the Audit Plan include an evaluation of third-party governance\, risk management\, and control processes across the third-party life cycle. This requires an integrated approach for assessing the risks and controls. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will provide ACUA members with a practical\, risk-based approach to evaluating and maturing third-party risk management programs\, aligned with The IIA’s Third-Party Topical Requirement and its intersection with the Cybersecurity Topical Requirements. \n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with practical considerations for building effective integrated audits\, improving stakeholder conversations\, and positioning internal audit as a strategic advisor in strengthening institutional resilience. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter attending this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n\n\n\n\nDescribe third-party types and common risks to the organization\n\n\n\nIdentify assessment practices and standards for third-party governance\, risk management\, and controls\n\n\n\nDiscuss the intersection of Third Party and Cybersecurity Topical Requirements for assessing third-party life cycle risks and controls\n\n\n\nShare integrated audit practices for evaluating third-party life cycle stages (Selecting\, Contracting\, Onboarding\, Monitoring\, and Off-boarding)\n\n\n\nDiscuss practices for effectively translating emerging third-party risks into board and leadership insights\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group InternetField of Study: Specialized KnowledgeAdvance Preparation: NonePrerequisites are required: NoCost: $25 for non-membersRecommended CPEs: 1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohan Lidros (CISA\, CISM\, CGEIT\, CRISC\, CDPSE\, ITIL-F\, HITRUST CCSFP)\n\n\n\nPresident \n\n\n\nEminere Group \n\n\n\n\n\nJohan Lidros is President of Eminere Group and an experienced IT risk\, cybersecurity\, privacy and governance advisor to higher education\, healthcare and regulated organizations.
