Operational Risk Management

Why Operational Risk Management is Vital

Operational risk management (ORM) is critical to an effective third-party risk management (TPRM) strategy. It ensures that IT leaders can identify, assess, and mitigate risks stemming from third-party relationships while maintaining operational resilience and compliance with industry standards. ORM in TPRM focuses on understanding how third-party operations impact the organization's ability to deliver services, maintain compliance, and safeguard critical assets. With increasing reliance on vendors, contractors, and other external entities, a proactive ORM strategy is essential to minimize disruptions and enhance overall risk preparedness.
