Using TPRM to Protect Intellectual Property in University Research | UpGuard

This article explains how universities can use third-party risk management (TPRM) to safeguard intellectual property in research collaborations by detailing core phases (vendor intake, risk identification, assessment, monitoring, mitigation), key risk types (cybersecurity, operational, compliance, reputational, financial), and benefits (cost and risk reduction, compliance, improved decision-making), while highlighting UpGuard's capabilities—security ratings, questionnaires, vendor risk assessments, remediation/mitigation workflows, and continuous monitoring—to evaluate partners and maintain continuous visibility across the third-party ecosystem.
