What is Engagement Level Risk Profiling?

Engagement Level Risk Profiling Definition

Engagement-level risk profiling assesses the risk associated with a particular use case, contract, or data flow rather than the vendor overall. It considers data sensitivity, business impact, regulatory exposure, and operational dependencies for the individual engagement. In TPRM, this ensures the level of oversight matches the real risk of the service being consumed.
