Revolutionizing Vendor Management: Enhancing Control and Minimizing Risk

 

Look what happened to all the IT shops that “trusted” CrowdStrike, Solar Winds, and others!  Is your organization in control of its information technology vendors, or are you at the mercy of vendor mismanagement?

 

Ineffective vendor management practices can lead to disrupted operations and compromised services. It's time to establish a robust, centralized, and efficient Vendor Management Program.

 

Join us for an engaging 4-hour seminar designed to tackle these challenges head-on. Whether you're just starting out or have an established vendor management program, this event will offer valuable insights into designing, implementing, and optimizing your vendor management for your supply chain.

 

Event Highlights:

  • Comprehensive Understanding: Gain a solid understanding of what constitutes a “vendor” and how to generate a comprehensive list.
  • Lifecycle Management: Learn the phases of the vendor management lifecycle process and understand the placement of responsibility.
  • Risk Assessment: Discover processes and controls organizations should conduct throughout the Vendor Lifecycle, including assessing vendor risk and conducting audits.
  • Cybersecurity: Get an overview of common cybersecurity risks in IT vendor relationships, identify potential threats, and learn best practices for mitigating these risks.
  • Quality Management: Establish clear quality standards and expectations, methods for ongoing assessment, and effective resolution techniques.
  • Real-World Examples: Learn from case studies of both successes and failures in quality management and cybersecurity breaches.
  • Vendor Relationships: Techniques for fostering transparent and collaborative relationships, importance of regular communication, and feedback loops.
  • Contract Negotiation: Tips focusing on cybersecurity and quality requirements during contract negotiations.

 

By the end of this event, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to manage IT vendors effectively, protecting their organization against cybersecurity risks and maintaining high-quality standards.
