Cyber Risk
Podcast

In this episode, SAFE’s Chief Product Officer Saket Bajoria sits down with Vincent Scales (Lead Director, GRC at CVS Health) to unpack why TPRM is hitting a breaking point – more vendors, more risk, same headcount. They explore how Agentic AI is changing vendor assessments, reducing questionnaire churn, and turning TPRM into a faster, decision-grade function for the business.

Hardik Mehta, Global Head of Risk and Regulatory Compliance at JPMorgan Chase (formerly of Uber), explains how third-party risk can become an insider threat. Discover a blueprint – including risk quantification, flipped GRC, and AI with human oversight – to turn vendors from a liability into a managed part of your risk portfolio.

Lindsay Baker, Third-Party Risk Leader at Instacart, discusses real-world pain points behind vendor-risk management. Uncover what’s broken in reconciliation, chasing, and communication – and get a roadmap to fixing it with autonomous TPRM.

Michael Johnson, CISO at Meta Financial Technologies (formerly of Capital One and U.S. Department of Energy), unpacks the increasing focus around TPRM. He discusses why few organizations get it right, why it needs to be continuous, and how to effectively communicate risk to stakeholders.
