Third-party risk isn’t going away—and in this episode, we dig into why it’s heating up. Join host James Honey and Joshua Morris, Sr. Product Manager for Non-Employee Risk Management, as they explore the growing urgency to secure non-employee identities in today’s threat landscape. From contractors and vendors to partners and affiliates, these external users often operate with sensitive access—but sit outside the governance guardrails designed for full-time employees.
Josh and James dive into why identity proofing is becoming a must-have for verifying who’s really behind the screen—before access is granted. They also unpack what SailPoint’s FedRAMP authorization means for public sector organizations and other regulated industries, and how it raises the bar for third-party identity security.
Throughout the discussion, they underscore a key shift: organizations can no longer treat non-employees as second-class citizens in their identity program. A unified approach—one that brings non-employees and employees onto the same identity plane—isn’t just smarter;it’s essential.
Whether you're managing thousands of contractors or facing mounting compliance pressure, this episode breaks down what’s changing, what to prioritize, and why now’s the time to rethink your third-party strategy.
