I don’t believe that any one of us working in any type of organisation, regardless of whether you’re a small business, a charity, a school or even a sole trader today can operate without the products or services of a 3^rd party provider. We may well have chosen to outsource our accountancy, HR, IT and compliance management requirements. Equally, our clients outsource to us e.g. audit requirements, Data Protection Officer and so on. Our Clients all have a dependency on us to deliver services. Here at Risk Evolves – we’re no different. We’re great examples of the fact that very few, if any, organisations can operate without the support of a 3^rd party. A 3^rd party could be providing IT, critical resource, logistics support, payroll services, catering, cleaning etc. And yet, how many of us step back and analyse exactly what we would do if one of those third parties wasn’t available one day. What happened if they were to suffer a flood to their premises so that they couldn’t operate, if they were to go out of business, cease to provide the service that we are reliant on, be acquired by another organisation – the list goes on.
