○Monitor changes in regulatory requirements and update third-party compliance protocols accordingly.
- Risk Management
○Identify and mitigate risks associated with third-party relationships, including cybersecurity, data protection, and operational risks.
○Maintain a risk register for third-party entities and prioritize mitigation actions.
○Work closely with the departments allocated to you on their responsibilities under the company’s risk register. 6. Training and Awareness.
○Provide training and resources to third-party entities to promote compliance awareness.

○Track key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate the effectiveness of thirdparty compliance initiatives.
