The Pro Advantage: How to stay ahead of third-party and operational resilience risk

Overview of our webinar panel discussion

About the Webinar

Third-party risk is now a board-level priority — especially in the Lloyd’s and global insurance markets. Join Pro Global for the launch of our Audit Workshop Webinar Series, where we’ll explore how insurers and MGAs can modernise third-party oversight using compliance-aligned, tech-enabled strategies that meet emerging regulatory expectations including SYSC 15A, DORA, and EIOPA. What you’ll learn:

What regulators now expect from vendor due diligence

Why “tick-box” audits are no longer enough

How AI-enhanced workflows can make audits proactive, not reactive

Impact tolerance & criticality mapping frameworks

Building scalable, defensible audit trails

Creating consistency across fragmented vendor oversight

Key Takeaways

“From cloud vendors to AI tools, insurers must now align due diligence practices with board-level risk priorities and cross-jurisdictional frameworks.”

– Insights from Pro Global

Why This Matters Now
