#1. Supply chain risks
Third-party collaborations expose organisations to various risks such as data breaches, supply chain disruptions, sustainability violations, legal liabilities and reputation damage. Managing and mitigating these risks is a daunting task, as it requires continuous insight into the entire landscape.
#2. Stakeholder engagement
Engaging internal teams with risk management and internal control activities, such as risk profiling, control testing or assessment reviews, can be challenging due to a lack of understanding, inadequate communication, resistance to change or tool fatigue.
#3. Regulatory compliance
Emerging requirements from the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS-2) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), amongst others, complicate the already challenging compliance management process. Achieving compliance is necessary to prevent reputation damage.
