In "The Empanada Economy: Flavorful Insights into Third-Party Risk," we explore the parallels between the third-party risks faced by a modest farmers market empanada business and those of larger enterprises. This session delves into key areas such as inherent risk, business resiliency, privacy, technology, and ongoing monitoring, illustrating how the fundamentals of third-party risk management are universal across different scales and sectors.
