Outsourcing & Third-Party Risk Management in Financial Services

Introduction

As financial institutions and insurers expand their reliance on third parties, the landscape of risk, and regulation, is rapidly evolving. Traditional, siloed approaches - where ESG, cybersecurity, and operational resilience are assessed independently - no longer meet the expectations of regulators.

The future of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) lies in unifying these dimensions into a single, data-driven view of supplier and partner risk. With increasing operational, technological and regulatory pressures, organisations must evolve their TPRM strategies to ensure resilience and compliance - not just to mitigate their own risk, but also to avoid systemic risk to the wider economy.

Regulators expect accountability, transparency and resilience even when critical functions are outsourced. For financial institutions, lack of oversight leads to compliance breaches, operational disruptions and reputational damage.

New regulations such as the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and Economic Crime and Corporate Strategy Act (ECCTA) demand greater transparency and accountability, even extending to fourth-party risks. At the same time, technologies like generative AI are reshaping vendor landscapes, introducing both opportunities and new complexities.

This new webinar will explore how forward-thinking institutions are transforming TPRM, from reactive compliance to proactive strategy - enhancing resilience, enabling smarter collaboration, and turning regulatory demands into competitive advantage.
