Sometimes, in the world of third party risk, we spend a lot of time looking at what is directly in front of us (or re-actively, what’s behind us), or even with our heads in the sand. Industry expert, Keith Koo, spends a lot of time looking to the horizon.
When you meet Keith – you are immediately struck by the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the topics near and dear to his heart: disruptive technology, digital innovation and cyber-security, and the intersection of all these trends with third party risk.
Not only has Keith had significant experience in managing large third party risk programs for large banks and enterprise technology companies, he now advises companies with the most complex and pressing third party management challenges as a Managing Partner at Guardian Insight Group.
However, it’s been his experience working in the Silicon Valley, that also spurred Keith’s long-term interest in digital innovation, cyber-security and emerging, disruptive technologies such as cryptocurrencies and blockchain.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) evolves, it will offer organizations the opportunity to create an unprecedented range of potential products and services. By embedding the internet into computer systems inside of cars, appliances, and other physical things, manufacturers will be able to offer new functionality as well as additional services. Smart homes and intelligent cars are already on the consumer market in many countries. Applications for this technology in a business-to-business environment are equally promising.

Scorecards that measure the performance of suppliers and vendors that a company contracts with have been a business tool embraced by procurement for some time now.
However, there’s an evolution underway. Increasingly businesses are recognizing that a holistic third party scorecard that also embeds risk and compliance metrics, can not only help drive continuous improvements in vendor performance, but can also help reduce the risk that third party engagements may bring to the enterprise. What’s more, scorecards can also be leveraged as a collaborative tool to help raise the collective bar of the third party ecosystem – especially in areas such as IT security. Operational risk, Information Security and Compliance are all now stepping up to the scorecard plate.

These incidents – whether they are caused by criminals, foreign governments, or hacktivists – can be costly for organizations, distressing for consumers, and create the possibility of real systemic damage to whole industries; even nations. So, it’s hardly surprising that regulators and legislators around the world are moving into action.

Why TPRM objectives fail – and what Global 2000 companies need to succeed
Even though large organizations have invested time, attention, and resources into third party risk management (TPRM) over the past decade, it’s clear that many programs are failing to deliver on their primary objective - keeping the organization safe.
