As organizations increasingly turn to outsource providers to reduce operating costs and streamline operations, third party risk management and vendor compliance are growing in importance. Amid the benefits of outsourcing, there lies a significant risk -- responsibility and liability cannot be outsourced.

Organizations now face increasing pressure from their regulators, to demonstrate that they are proactively taking steps to ensure vendor compliance and mitigate risks.
