About the Webinar
This 45-minute webinar, titled “From Vendor Inventory to Dependency Map: What Your Assessments Can’t Show You,” examines how organizations can advance their third-party risk management programs beyond standard vendor assessments. The session features speakers from Crowe alongside demonstrations of interos.ai and ProcessUnity platforms.
Moving Beyond Vendor Self-Assessments
Traditional TPRM programs rely heavily on vendor-provided questionnaires, which present several challenges: suppliers may be non-responsive, information may be incomplete, and assessments capture only a point-in-time snapshot. The webinar addresses how independent intelligence sources can supplement or validate supplier information, enabling organizations to identify risks that vendors themselves may not disclose or recognize.
Dependency Mapping and Concentration Risk
A central focus is mapping supplier dependencies to reveal fourth-party relationships and ownership structures. This visibility helps organizations identify concentration risks where multiple vendors share common dependencies, creating potential single points of failure. The session demonstrates how interos.ai’s mapping platform integrates with ProcessUnity’s TPRM workflows to operationalize these insights and enable responses to external risk signals between formal assessment cycles.
Who Should Attend
The webinar targets third-party risk managers, compliance managers, procurement directors, and supply chain professionals working in large enterprises, financial services, and consulting firms. Organizations with complex supplier ecosystems seeking to improve visibility into their extended supply chain will find the content most relevant.
