Panel | Innovating with confidence: Taking the risk out of third-party tie-ups
-
Panel discussion
From streamlining operations to hyper-personalising customer experiences, third-party partnerships are driving retail innovation. But the more links in the chain, the greater the risk it could break, leading to potential cybersecurity breaches.
Half of businesses faced a cyber breach in the last 12 months, according to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, making a legal team’s prevention and response strategy more vital than ever.
In this session, we’ll examine how legal leaders can support retailers in addressing the vulnerabilities that come with third-party partnerships and how to manage the fallout of incidents.
We will explore:
- Where partnerships can go wrong, from non-compliance to data breaches, and how to mitigate the risks
- How to build a robust legal framework that protects the company without inhibiting innovation
- Guidance on creating robust cybersecurity policies and employee training programmes when it comes to adopting third- party tech
- How legal can work cross-collaboratively to manage reputational risk and stakeholder communications during a cyber event
