A Comprehensive Framework for Offboarding Third Parties: Mitigating Data Risk and Ensuring Compliance

Vivek Kumar Agarwal

Abstract: The increasing reliance on third - party vendors and contractors has introduced significant data risk and compliance challenges for organizations. The offboarding process, in particular, poses considerable threats to data security and integrity. This paper presents a thorough examination of the current state of third - party offboarding, highlighting the shortcomings of existing practices. We propose a novel framework for offboarding third parties, addressing data deletion, device return, access revocation, contract management, and data retention. Our approach is grounded in a comprehensive review of existing literature, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.

Keywords: third party offboarding, data security, data risk, compliance challenges, contract management
