Condemns checkbox vendor risk processes and argues TPRM must produce concrete outcomes: track vendor response time (commonly six weeks), treat SOC 2 reports skeptically (qualified reports hide incidents), and stop sending needless questionnaires. Recommends embedding assessments into procurement and design reviews, use AI for initial document review with human oversight, define and enforce a company-specific risk tolerance, and adopt security addendum (MVSP or situation‑specific) and contract-based risk transfers so contractual commitments replace fruitless evidence-chasing.
