What I didn't realize at the time was how seamlessly my background in education would translate--engaging stakeholders, providing educational resources, and helping others strengthen and mature their TPRM programs. It's been a natural fit that allows me to bridge knowledge gaps and foster meaningful collaboration in the TPRM space. Leadership Characteristics I actually just took a DISC assessment, and my strengths center around communication, reliability, adaptability, approachability, enthusiasm, and building relationships & camaraderie. Leadership Challenges One of the biggest leadership challenges, for me, has been maintaining morale during times of uncertainty. Focusing on controlling what you can control, celebrating any little "win" for your team/colleagues, and advocating for them as best as you can has turned obstacles into opportunities for collaboration and growth. Key Take-a-ways My favorite aspect of TPRM is the constant, endless LEARNING, which I love being a former educator! It operates at the intersection of rapid technology, global interconnectedness, and emerging/unknown risks--that curiosity, adaptability & a growth/learning mindset are critical for success. Fun Fact I love creativity and learning something new on the daily--even if I'm not good at it, ha! I'm really into candle-making and soap-making right now, although it's been a work in progress.

They allow earners to distinguish themselves from their peers by demonstrating commitment to mastering their skills and excelling in their field. According to MBO Partners, professional certifications are also known to boost efficiency. The advanced training, information and knowledge gained from specialized coursework can provide earners with up-to-date tools and technical strategies that will serve to guide and direct them in the execution of projects, allowing them to manage all aspects of their work more effectively. Studies also show that employees who invest in certifications tend to earn higher salaries. MBO Partners notes that Project Management Professional (PMP) certification recipients report median salaries that are 26% higher than those who are not PMP certified. Third Party Cyber Risk Assessor (TPCRA) Certification Pre-registration is now open for TPRA’s first certification, the Third Party Cyber Risk Assessor (TPCRA) Certification. The TPCRA Certification is a specialized qualification designation to confirm understanding and skill in the assessment of third-party cybersecurity controls and processes, as well as validate competency in the creation, execution, and management of third-party cyber risk assessments. In addition, the Certification will authenticate and add credibility to TPRM professional expertise as a third-party cyber risk assessor. The TPCRA is recommended for those who assess, monitor, and review third-party cybersecurity and information technology controls, as well as identify and mitigate risk related to said controls. Eligibility for this certification includes three or more years of experience in a full-time risk management/analyst and/or cybersecurity-related role, though substitutions may be obtained for up to one year of work experience. TPCRA Certification Overview The TPCRA Certification examination is designed to be challenging and ensure that the participant is fully knowledgeable, competent, and proficient in necessary cybersecurity and information technology assessment terms and techniques. The examination will cover the domains of: cybersecurity and TPRM basics, pre-contract due diligence, continuous monitoring, physical validation, disengagement due diligence, cloud due diligence, and reporting and analytics. The examination is a 150-question, multiple-choice assessment with a variety of question formats, including scenario-based, true/false, and ‘choose best response.’ It will be offered either virtually or in person and monitored via an assigned proctor, with a 3-hour time limit. TPRA is also offering optional training sessions to allow participants to be fully prepared for the examination. Purchase of TPCRA Training includes a copy of the book Cybersecurity and Third Party Risk: Third Party Threat Hunting by educator and TPRM leader, Gregory Rasner. “I’m excited to be able to announce the collaboration with Third Party Risk Association on this new training certification track around cybersecurity and third-party risk,” Rasner said. “The foundations [of this course] are built upon the book, but it’s new material that’s been built upon my experience, regulatory guidance, environmental changes, and other things that have come up since publication.” At this time, all training sessions will be taught by Rasner, giving participants direct access to the author of the text on which the examination is based. These lessons are designed to be interactive, allowing for conversation and classified learning, with a blend of informative lectures, open discussions, and workshops. “I hope that you’re as excited as I am to continue to grow this field and expertise within this new training and certification, and thanks for the collaboration with Third Party Risk Association,” Rasner said. Limited Time Promotion To celebrate the launch of their Certification Program and first certification, TPRA is offering a limited-time promotion to the first 30 individuals who register for the TPCRA Examination, Training, or Training and Examination Bundle. These individuals will receive a copy of the book, Cybersecurity and Third Party Risk: Third Party Threat Hunting, a TPCRA bookmark signed personally by the author, and 30 days of virtual access to the author and TPCRA Training Instructor, Rasner, to ask him any questions participants may have prior to their examination. Interested individuals can learn more and pre-register for the Third Party Cyber Risk Assessor (TPCRA) Certification on the TPRA website at www.tprassociation.org/tpra-certifications . Training and testing will begin in January 2023. “We are so excited to offer this first certification and cannot wait to launch the others in the coming years,” Gaiaschi said. “Thank you for your continued support of the Third Party Risk Association.” Founded in 2018, Third Party Risk Association (TPRA) was created out of a necessity to build a community of like-minded third-party risk professionals to allow for the sharing of best practices, exchanging of ideas, and influencing of the industry. Membership is available for both third-party risk management practitioners and service provider organizations, and is designed to promote collaboration, education, and advancement of the industry as a whole.

Learn about Sophia Corsetti, Senior Product Marketing Manager for ProcessUnity, and TPRA's WNTPRM May 2026 Leader Spotlight. < See All < Previous Next > Sophia Corsetti Senior Product Marketing Manager ProcessUnity Biography Sophia Corsetti is a Senior Product Marketing Manager at ProcessUnity, where she leads go-to-market strategy for the company's cybersecurity and third-party risk management solutions. She owns the end-to-end messaging process, from developing differentiated positioning and value propositions to delivering those narratives on stage at executive-level conferences and industry events. Since joining ProcessUnity, Sophia has spearheaded the launch of major product initiatives, including the ProcessUnity Risk Index and ProcessUnity's generative AI capabilities. She works closely with CISOs, Risk managers, and CPOs to understand the challenges facing today's risk management teams, translating voice-of-the-customer insights into compelling product positioning and cross-functional enablement programs that accelerate adoption and revenue growth.

She is also the founder of EmpowHER, ProcessUnity's first women's Employee Resource Group, bringing the same strategic thinking and creativity to culture-building as she does to market strategy. Leadership Characteristics INFJ Leadership Challenges I haven't always been confident speaking about the topic of TPRM. Although I dedicated a lot of time to learning the subject matter and understood the core concepts, challenges, and best practices, I struggled to confidently share my perspective in front of an audience. I felt like I was too young and even too female to say anything that would be taken seriously. I learned early on that it didn't work for me to try to emulate a male presentation style that simply didn't feel like me. Over time and with a lot of practice, I developed my confidence and self trust to use my voice to lead conversations on industry thought leadership topics. I deeply understand what it's like to know that you have a value perspective but not know how to share it. I've made it a goal in my career to seek mentorship from other women who have experienced a similar challenge and to share what I've learned on my journey with others as well. Key Take-a-ways My favorite aspect of TPRM is how there's always a conversation about iteration and continuous improvement for program processes. Everyone involved in the TPRM community (analysts, third parties, auditors, solution providers) has a different, valuable perspective on how the lifecycle can create better risk outcomes. It's an exciting time to be a part of that conversation from a product perspective and to explore what is possible with data, AI, and automation. Fun Fact I'm a volunteer yoga teacher outside of work! I believe that the the mindfulness and whole-body movement gained through a yoga practice are amazing complements to a busy career.

Supply Wisdom is dedicated to ensuring equality and diversity within its organization, enabling these goals through its programs, policies, and practices.  < Back Supply Wisdom is dedicated to ensuring equality and diversity within its organization, enabling these goals through its programs, policies, and practices. 58% of Supply Wisdom employees are women 50% of Supply Wisdom's executive team are women Their Story Supply Wisdom provides a real-time, continuous monitoring platform that delivers actionable risk intelligence across multiple domains to help businesses proactively manage and mitigate third-party and supply chain risks. “What we're really looking to do is bring third party risk management to a more automated, real-time solution, instead of the historic, kind of archaic, questionnaire-focused point-in-time assessments,” Jenna Wells, Chief Customer & Product Officer of Supply Wisdom, said in an interview with TPRA. Supply Wisdom’s platform aims to be a one-stop solution for managing key vendors and locations, with alerts, comprehensive risk reports, interactive dashboards, and more. But that isn’t all they do. Supply Wisdom is dedicated to ensuring equality and diversity within their organization, enabling these goals through their programs, policies, and practices. TPRA interviewed Supply Wisdom staff to get a better idea of how they uplift and support women, and to gain details of actionable practices other organizations can take to ensure the same. How does your company support women's professional networks and mentorship opportunities, both within the organization and in the wider industry? In a field traditionally dominated by men, Supply Wisdom stands out with 58% of employees, as well as 50% of their executive team, being women. “When you have women representatives in high levels of the company and areas of leadership across the company, that's the most important foundation that you can have to ensure that women are being promoted and heard across the organization,” Hannah Ford, Head of Product, said. “And being seen in the industry as leaders, is by having them in that position.” What programs does Supply Wisdom have in place to support the career development and advancement of women within the organization? Supply Wisdom has instituted a Skill Development Program, managed by their talent team, during which employees are encouraged to work with their managers to identify areas they would like to skill-up, and then the company financially supporting those areas to see that goal realized. “It really helps a lot of the women who are younger in their careers, who want to skill up in areas, maybe traditionally, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to, or didn't have the financial means to,” Wells shared. Can you provide examples of how your organization has celebrated and recognized the achievements of women employees? Supply Wisdom has a quarterly nomination program which is designed to encourage and reward significant individual/team contributions. They consistently receive nominations for women who are considered “Champions” within the company, and announce awards during their quarterly, all-staff Recognition Townhall meetings. “I think that's a really great way as well where the leadership can work together to nominate some employees who might not have that same exposure that we do,” Wells said. “We really push hard to make sure that, the people that we are recognizing are not the ones that do the most politicking around the water cooler, but are the ones that actually get the work done and are the highest performers,” Tom Thimot, CEO of Supply Wisdom, said. What measures are in place to ensure a supportive and inclusive work environment for women, including policies on work-life balance, parental leave, and flexible working arrangements? Flexible Time Off Policy Supply Wisdom utilizes a “flex time off” policy that gives employees the flexibility to take time off when needed, without being restricted by a set number of vacation or personal days. Below is an overview of their policy: Unlimited Time Off: Employees are not given a fixed number of vacation or sick days. Instead, they can request time off as needed for vacations, personal matters, or illness, subject to management approval. Manager Approval: While time off is "unlimited," employees need to coordinate with their managers to ensure their absence won't negatively affect work or team performance. This helps balance flexibility with business needs. Work Output Focus: The emphasis is on performance and meeting goals rather than tracking the exact number of days worked. Employees are trusted to manage their own schedules responsibly, focusing on productivity rather than time spent in the office. No Accrual or Payout: Since time off is flexible and unlimited, there’s no accrual of days or payout for unused days at the end of employment. In traditional PTO policies, employees might accumulate vacation days, which would be paid out if they leave the company, but this is not the case with flex time. Encouragement to Take Time Off: Supply Wisdom encourages employees to take a minimum number of days off per year to promote a healthy work-life balance. They track days off and send regular reminders to employees who aren't taking time off. Fair Use Expectations: They set guidelines to prevent abuse of the policy, ensuring employees don’t take excessive time off that could disrupt work or set an unfair precedent for others. “I feel like it really enables especially women, who many times are the caregivers in their homes,” Wells noted. “They're taking care of children, they're taking care of parents; there's so many other responsibilities, and having that flexibility that is encompassing this organization, I think is really helpful.” Sowmya Krishnaswamy, Chief Technology Officer of Supply Wisdom, noted that caregiving is often a women-oriented responsibility in Indian culture. “Because of these policies, it helps me a lot to focus on my family and other things, and as well as my career,” Krishnaswamy said. Parental Leave Policy In addition, Supply Wisdom’s parental leave policy is designed with families in mind, offering 12 weeks of fully paid time off for both mothers and fathers. This benefit applies to the birth, adoption, or foster care of a child, reflecting their commitment to supporting employees during these pivotal moments in life. This policy stands out for several reasons: Gender-Inclusive: By offering equal time off to both parents, regardless of gender, they ensure that all employees have the opportunity to bond with their child and support their family without financial strain. Work-Life Balance: Supply Wisdom recognizes that balancing professional responsibilities and family life is key to employee well-being. With 12 weeks of paid leave, parents can take the necessary time to adjust to new family dynamics while maintaining job security and income stability. Adoption & Foster Care Support: Unlike some policies that only focus on childbirth, Supply Wisdom’s leave extends to parents welcoming a child through adoption or foster care, emphasizing their belief that every family deserves equal support. No Disability or Supplemental Pay Required: Supply Wisdom’s policy provides full pay for the entire leave period, eliminating the need for employees to navigate disability pay or supplemental income programs. This simplicity allows parents to focus fully on their new family responsibilities without the stress of managing financial details. Short-Term Disability Benefits for Expectant Mothers: Expectant mothers who deliver their child can also apply for short-term disability benefits, in addition to the 12 weeks of paid parental leave. This ensures that they receive the necessary medical support during recovery while still being eligible for the full parental leave afterward. Employee Retention & Loyalty: By prioritizing parental leave, Supply Wisdom fosters a culture that values and supports work-life balance, which helps retain top talent and build long-term loyalty. Supply Wisdom’s comprehensive approach ensures that employees can focus on what matters most—family—while maintaining confidence in their role and career progression within the company. How does your organization engage men as allies in promoting gender equality and supporting women in the workplace? How does your organization address and prevent gender bias in hiring, promotions, and performance evaluations? Supply Wisdom has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to bias and discrimination, ensuring that, in their hiring practices and performance reviews, they measure people only on job performance and results. In the event a leader demonstrates an inability to be an ally and measure objectively, Supply Wisdom upper management will reevaluate that person's place within the company. “You walk the talk, right?” Thimot stated. “If the CEO is an ally and they know that people are only getting measured on one thing, and that's aptitude and their delivery on results, people get the message. The ‘good old boy’ network does not exist here.” “Just the nature of the structure of our company is really doing the most, in my opinion, to ensure that women across the organization are elevated and have their voices heard,” Ford shared. TPRA is proud to highlight an organization that not only excels in TPRM but is also committed to gender equality and diversity. We believe that empowering women in the workplace leads to stronger, more resilient businesses. In that regard, Supply Wisdom is leading by example, creating opportunities for women to thrive and setting new standards for the industry.
