The Future of Third-Party Risk Management & Data Privacy will be published in 2027 by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group.
Your risk now lives in your vendors, and artificial intelligence is rewriting that risk faster than most programs can adapt. The book is a practitioner’s working manual for that world: the vendor lifecycle from intake to offboarding, contracts with teeth, due diligence that verifies instead of files, AI governance and model risk, privacy by design, continuous monitoring, incident response, and the organizational capability to make it all stick, with an implementation roadmap, a nine-dimension maturity model, and six deeply analyzed case studies.
