Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management

Leave your supplier risk management to the professionals to be confident that suppliers are doing the right thing.
Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management

Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM), also known as Vendor Risk Management, is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating the risks associated with the products and services provided by suppliers.

Organizations are dependent on suppliers to achieve business objectives and those suppliers are handling sensitive data.   The risk of supply chain compromise continues to increase and mitigating that risk requires a focused approach to ensure suppliers are meeting their commitments.

Loricca’s Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management Strategy

Surveys by the Office of Civil Rights show 73% of healthcare organizations are not confident in their Business Associates’ ability to handle sensitive information.

Managing cyber supply chain risks requires ensuring the integrity, security, quality and resilience of the supply chain and its products and services.  When considering third parties, ask these questions:

  • What is the data processing environments used by a third party?
  • What type of cloud environment, if one is used by a third party?
  • What are the mechanisms used by a third party to access your data?
  • How is the data stored by a third party?
  • Can they produce evidence to demonstrate their Security Program?
  • Does the third party use subcontractors, and if so, are there controls in place to oversee their activity?

Our Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management services cover the entire life cycle of a system (including design, development, distribution, deployment, acquisition, maintenance, and destruction) as supply chain threats and vulnerabilities may compromise a product or service at any stage.
