Transatlantic Regulatory Pressure on Third-Party Risk
Regulatory bodies across the United States and European Union are intensifying scrutiny of how organisations manage cyber risk within their vendor and supplier ecosystems. The SEC and ECB, among other oversight bodies, are establishing higher benchmarks for third-party risk management programs. Organisations that fail to meet these evolving standards face increased exposure to enforcement actions and reputational damage following breaches.
