When Trust Breaks: Auditing the $300M Third-Party Liability Cap
Episode 312
Published 4 months ago
Description
Third-party relationships expose organizations to major threats across operational, strategic, and legal risk areas, including the significant danger of reputational damage and the potential for loss of intellectual property. Recent managed service provider (MSP) cyberattacks have resulted in catastrophic financial devastation, demonstrating that an organization cannot escape blame when a vendor fails. We analyze essential contractual controls—such as clear termination conditions, robust indemnification clauses, and the critical right to audit—that serve as the foundational mechanism for mitigating catastrophic liability exposure.
