  • Exit strategies have shifted from a minor consideration to a primary focus in third-party risk management, driven by regulatory demands and the need for operational resilience.
  • Regulatory frameworks, such as those introduced in March 2021, now emphasize the necessity of robust exit plans for critical third-party services, requiring businesses to prepare for stress scenarios and rapid exits.
  • Effective exit strategy development involves understanding service dependencies, exploring alternative solutions, and regularly updating plans to reflect evolving technology and business needs.
  • The rise of digital and fintech environments presents both opportunities and risks, necessitating a balanced approach to third-party management that incorporates comprehensive risk assessments and proactive cyber risk mitigation.
