Third-Party Identity Risk: Closing the Security Gap in External Access

Businesses have long relied on third-party collaborations to optimize operations, reduce costs, expand market reach and drive innovation. Since the Industrial Revolution, manufacturers have depended on suppliers, logistics providers, and distributors to scale production efficiently. Today, digital transformation has further integrated external partners, enabling seamless coordination across outsourced manufacturing, consulting, and global distribution networks.

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) helps organizations assess and mitigate risks when working with external vendors, suppliers, and partners. Traditionally, TPRM focuses on contractual compliance, cybersecurity, and operational resilience, but validating the organizations themselves is equally critical. 

With security-first policies and implementing scalable B2B IAM controls, IT and Security teams become the architects of trust, ensuring third-party identities are controlled, monitored and adapted as the business evolves.
