Supply Chain Cyber
Supply Chain Cyber risk is something that affects all organizations regardless of size and industry. Where there’s a supplier network, there’s risk – you only need to look at some of the biggest and most publicized breaches of the past couple of years and see it all started with an unknown supplier being breached, affecting larger organisations at scale.
While all organisations have risk in play, each approach to mitigating that risk is different. There may be a regulatory need to ensure that third party risk is mitigated, or there could be the urgent need as other similar organisations have been targeted.
This is why SysGroup has created a Supply Chain Cyber practice and service. We understand that each organization will have risk and that this will be a unique to their systems and controls, so that means there can be no one size fits all approach to cybersecurity in the supply chain.
Full end-to-end Supply Chain Cyber as a service
A fully end-to-end programme of consulting services and technology, Supply Chain Cyber is a full 360 degree customized review and remediation of all controls, processes, and systems within your organization, designed to mitigate risk and secure every aspect of your supply chain.
Supply Chain Cyber provides a fully modular, quick to set up and easy to deploy programme, fully customized to your organisation’s pain points and requirements. The Standard Operating Model (SOM) serves as a basis for a remediation but depending on the unique needs of your organization, the starting point may not be linear, and the next steps will be fully dependent on the outcome of your maturity assessment.
Start your programme with a full maturity assessment
To get a clear overview of your organisation’s maturity and risk appetite, your Supply Chain Cyber programme starts with a full workshop and maturity assessment. This is a structured and interactive workshop to comprehensively review the existing state of your organisation’s Supply Chain Cyber risk management.
From there you’ll receive a full report with a detailed report on existing maturity levels, and clear recommendations for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of your risk management to desired levels.
This will define next steps within your remediation journey and this is where the modular nature of our supply chain cyber service becomes unique to your organisation’s maturity assessment results.
