Build Stronger Third-Party Security with ISO 27001:2022
As organizations continue to expand their reliance on third parties, cloud service providers, outsourcing partners, and complex supply chains, information security can no longer be viewed solely through the lens of compliance.

The International TPRM Alliance is pleased to present its 4th Masterclass, designed specifically for professionals seeking to bridge the gap between ISO 27001:2022 compliance requirements and real-world third-party security implementation.
This expert-led session will provide practical guidance on the ISO 27001:2022 clauses and Annex A controls that are most relevant to Third-Party Risk Management, supplier governance, and supply chain security. Participants will gain actionable insights into implementing security controls that enhance organizational resilience while meeting regulatory and business expectations.
