Ryan will be speaking on the topic of Business Continuity and Third-Parties: Managing business resilience in an increasingly decentralized world
Almost every organization is increasingly relying on vendors, service providers, SaaS and cloud solutions, and other third-parties to execute their operational strategies. Accordingly, the focus of your business continuity plans must shift toward third-party management. How can you be sure that the continuity and DR capabilities of your third-parties align with your own organization’s requirements? Do you and your third-parties have a mutual understanding of each other’s requirements and capabilities, let alone a cohesive plan to respond to incidents?
In this presentation, you will hear about:
- Defining the nature of the continuity and DR impacts that third-parties can have on you
- Identifying and measuring business requirements related to the availability of a third-party’s product or service
- Best practices for third-party due diligence and monitoring programs
- Reports, certifications, and standards to utilize within your third-party management program
- Strategies for dealing with smaller or less-mature service providers
