What you'll learn
Modern software development depends on a complex ecosystem of third-party vendors, open-source components, and external services. But without proper oversight, a single weak link can introduce serious security, compliance, and operational risks. In this course, Third Party Risk Management for Supply Chain Security, you’ll gain the skills needed to assess, manage, and reduce risk across the software development lifecycle.
First, you’ll explore how to evaluate vendors and components, establish onboarding and review processes, and continuously monitor your risk posture. Next, you’ll discover how to align your practices with frameworks like NIST 800-161 and ISO/IEC 27036, and how to demonstrate compliance through audit trails, reporting, and vendor questionnaires. Finally, you’ll learn how to define key performance indicators to measure supply chain risk, track program maturity, and communicate progress to stakeholders.
When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the knowledge and tools to build a resilient, compliant, and transparent third-party risk management program.
