The risk that comes with a vendor’s access to sensitive data is a quickly growing concern amongst public and private sector organizations, and when it comes to compliance with new and forthcoming privacy regulations, the weakest link for many is their third-party agreements. 

On March 10, 2021, the Cybersecurity Law Report and Sentinel LLP co-hosted a webinar to delve into the challenges of a third-party risk management program from the controller’s perspective.  

Among other things, the panelists discussed: 

• the legal and risk landscape;
• understanding who qualifies as a third party;
• keeping track of the universe of vendor contracts; 
• important contract terms; and
• and ongoing compliance and monitoring.

The program featured Sentinel co-founder and President Aaron Weller and the Cybersecurity Law Report’s Senior Editor Jill Abitbol. A recording of the webinar can be accessed here.
