Third-party vendor oversight involves monitoring and managing the risks associated with external service providers. This process ensures that vendors providing critical services, such as custody, cybersecurity, or software development, adhere to an organization’s security, compliance, and operational standards. For digital asset firms, it includes rigorous due diligence, continuous performance monitoring, and contractual agreements to mitigate risks posed by external dependencies. Effective oversight is essential for protecting client assets and maintaining operational integrity.
