Maintain a clear record of the organisations your business depends on or shares information with. Document their role, contacts, classification, data held and linked systems, then connect the completed assessments that support your decisions.
This chapter explains the Third Parties register, creation, record sections, editing and filters. It also identifies the configuration catalogues that keep classification consistent across the workspace.
Start with the business relationship and its scope. A supplier name, questionnaire or assessment link alone does not establish that a third party is acceptable for every use.
