Risk Assessments

Hi Fellow Thinktankers,

With the current landscape leaning more toward the remote side of the house, I am seeing an increased interest in "virtual assistants" vs on-site/in-person executive assistants who would be subject to a standard recruiting and onboarding process.  That said, I wondered if anyone here has experience completing a risk assessment and vendor onboarding of a company offering virtual assistant services and what that looked like.

Thank you!

Suggest that you first have to accept the material risks that could easily occur where you have no control over the environment where the third-party is working and have clarity on the content of data the virtual assistant will have access to.
