What you’ll learn

Your vendors didn’t ask before they turned AI on. This class gives you the questions to ask now.

  • Why standard due diligence misses vendor AI, and why accountability for the outcome stays with you.
  • The six BEACON categories, with the anchor question to put to a vendor for each.
  • How to score the answers, using the real assessment we ran on our own AI assistant.
  • Three moves for the next 30 days, and a one-page view for your board.

FAQ

Questions about the free class

Is it really free?
Yes. The only exchange is your email address, which also signs you up for Fourth Party. You can unsubscribe from the first issue with one click, and you can still open the class again with the same address.
Does it carry CPE credit?
No. For CPE, the self-paced AI for TPRM Professionals course (4 hours, 4 CPEs) runs on the Third Party Risk Association’s platform, and live dates are on our training schedule.
Who is it for?
Executives and risk leaders who approve, sponsor or oversee vendors: CROs, CISOs, general counsel, procurement and third-party risk leads. No technical AI background needed.
Can I share it with my team?
Please do. Send them this page; each person signs up with their own address. The participant packet can be reproduced inside your organization with the attribution kept.
Can you run it live for our leadership team?
Yes. The live version is 45 minutes with a facilitated case study, in person or virtual. Ask about a date.
