In this week’s Red Flag Friday, [Raj Kohli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raj-kohli-9182593/), Managing Director at DCR, highlights one of the most common red flags he sees in third-party risk management: organisations relying on nothing more than a supplier list ranked by criticality in a spreadsheet.

Real third-party resilience means actively monitoring supplier health, having clear escalation plans when things go wrong and regularly stress-testing your dependencies - not just knowing who your critical suppliers are.

Concerned your third-party risk management approach might look like this?
