Enterprises have come to rely on large ecosystems of third parties to expand their capabilities while remaining agile. An IT security incident anywhere in this ecosystem can quickly spread resulting in financial loss for your organization.
All major IT security standards, best practises and regulations require third party cyber risk management. A non-exhaustive list of these are - ISO27001, CIS Controls v8, NIST CSF, GDPR, CCPA, and Regional financial authorities.
