Abstract
External Dependencies Management aims to establish and manage an appropriate level of controls to ensure the resilience of services and assets dependent on external entities' actions.
The External Dependencies Management process area comprises four goals: to identify and prioritize external dependencies, to manage risks associated with external dependencies, to formalize binding relationships with external entities, and to monitor and manage external entity performance against all contractual specifications, including those for operational resilience.
