Systemic third-party dependency is dependency on services provided by a service provider where their disruption or failure has been identified by a relevant financial authority as having potential implications for financial stability.

(Source - Financial Stability Board (FSB).)


"If many firms rely on the same third party for material services, the failure or disruption of this ‘critical’ third party could have a systemic impact across the financial sector.

Moreover, firms’ dependency on a limited number of critical third parties for key services within the financial services sector has increased in recent years and continues to do so.

As of 2020, for example, over 65% of UK firms used the same four cloud providers for cloud infrastructure services."
