Glossary › Exception Management
What is Exception Management
Exception management handles cases where controls cannot be fully met due to operational, technical, or contractual constraints. It documents risks, approval status, remediation timelines, and compensating controls. In TPRM, exception management ensures third-party deviations are known and governed.
