6. Involved Third Parties

Understanding the role of third parties is crucial for gaining a comprehensive view of external influences on a risk assessment demand.

The Involved Third Parties section allows you to identify and document external entities, such as vendors, partners, or service providers, that play a role in the current risk context.

By mapping involved third parties, organisations can:

• Assess external dependencies: Understand how third parties contribute to or mitigate risks.
• Identify shared responsibilities: Clarify accountability between internal teams and third parties.
• Enhance risk visibility: Gain insight into external factors affecting risk posture.
• Strengthen collaboration: Foster transparent communication and cooperation with external stakeholders.

To add new third parties:

• Click the '+' button on the right.
• Select or define the third parties relevant to the current demand.
• Repeat the process as needed to include all relevant third parties.

Adding involved third parties helps to understand the external context and interactions influencing the demand, providing a holistic view of potential dependencies, vulnerabilities, and collaborative opportunities.

This approach ensures that external influences are fully considered, enabling a more robust and informed risk management process.
