About Third-Party Risk Policy, Program, and Procedures: Successful vendor risk management requires a fully documented set of practices. Regulators and examiners expect you to have three written documents – a policy, program, and procedures. These documents must be updated at least annually or more frequently as guidance changes or significant organizational changes occur. And, it’s important the work product produced matches what the policy and program documentation says.
