Nashville: Third-Party Risk in Both Directions - Beyond the Panama Papers

Third-Party Risk in Both Directions - Beyond the Panama Papers

Lunch Sponsor: Pivot Point Security 

Description:
The leak of the "Panama Papers" in 2016 brought the issue of third-party risk management (TPRM) in legal firms into sharp focus. However, the TPRM landscape is much broader than just the information retained by counsel; it's about both your risk and the risk to your clients.

In this practical presentation, we will discuss how law firms can manage their own risk from third parties (downstream TPRM), how they can show clients and potential clients they are trustworthy (upstream TPRM), and the role of legal professionals in TPRM and third-party incidents. We'll share real-world examples while providing an overview of the legal and information security aspects of third-party risk management.
