Understanding Assurance
Assurance in the TPRM and vendor risk management context refers to the confidence and verification that a third-party vendor meets established security, compliance, and operational standards. Assurance is typically provided through evidence such as certifications, audit reports, or attestations that demonstrate the vendor’s adherence to regulatory and security requirements. For organizations working with external partners, obtaining assurance from vendors is crucial for managing risk and ensuring that sensitive data and operations remain secure and compliant.
