Episode 47 — Third-Party Risk Management for i1
Notes de l’épisode
Third-party risk management (TPRM) under i1 validates that vendors and partners maintain appropriate security practices aligned with organizational expectations. Candidates must understand that this control area goes beyond listing vendors—it requires documented due diligence, risk classification, and ongoing oversight. HITRUST assessors expect to see inventories, risk assessments, and contractual clauses that mandate compliance with defined security requirements. The i1 framework emphasizes proportionality: higher-risk vendors receive deeper scrutiny, while low-risk relationships may only require attestations.
In practical operations, organizations implement periodic reviews, request assurance reports such as SOC 2 or ISO certifications, and track remediation of identified deficiencies. For the exam, candidates should understand how shared responsibility and inheritance apply to third-party relationships and how evidence supports these claims in MyCSF. Mature TPRM programs demonstrate a lifecycle approach—onboarding, monitoring, and offboarding—ensuring external dependencies do not introduce unmanaged risk. i1 reinforces that outsourcing functions never outsources accountability for data protection or compliance.
