Are your Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) efforts consuming valuable time and resources by answering Vendor Security Questionnaires without truly addressing risk? Join Candy and Cailin for a frank, no-holds-barred conversation with special guest Ross Young, the voice leading the charge to fix the fundamentally broken state of TPRM.

This episode dives into the painful realities of the "TPRM Time Sink":

- The Audit-Go-Round: We expose why the endless cycle of vendor questionnaires and compliance checklists has become a distraction, draining security teams while providing a false sense of security.

- Business Misalignment: We discuss how the TPRM process often fails to align with business objectives and executive priorities, leading to friction and ignored findings.

- Risk vs. Compliance: We challenge the notion that TPRM is rooted in auditing rather than continuous, actionable risk mitigation.

- Ross’s Simple Fix: Ross Young reveals his compelling vision for a simplified, modern TPRM framework that drastically reduces administrative burden and refocuses efforts on what truly matters to the business.

This is a critical listen for Business leaders, CISOs, and risk managers ready to move beyond the paperwork and implement an efficient, business-aligned TPRM program. Tune in to stop the treadmill and start mitigating genuine risk.
