Effective supply chain risk management protects your business from disruptions, ensuring continuity, security, and resilience in your operations.
In today’s interconnected world, managing supply chain risk is essential to protecting your business from external threats. The security of your supply chain can directly impact your operations, reputation, and bottom line. Without proper oversight, vulnerabilities in your vendors’ systems could expose your organisation to cyber attacks, data breaches, and other costly disruptions.
One key element of supply chain risk management is handling vendor security questionnaires. However, managing these questionnaires can be a time-consuming and complex task for organisations. Tracking vendors, ensuring compliance, and analysing responses often require significant effort and resources.
Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) is the strategic process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks throughout your supply chain to ensure business continuity, security, and resilience. It involves proactively managing potential threats that could disrupt the flow of goods, services and information between your organisation and its suppliers, partners, and vendors. Effective Supply Chain Risk Management helps mitigate cyber security vulnerabilities, operational delays and regulatory non-compliance to protect your organisation from unforeseen disruptions.
At Sentaris, we offer a comprehensive end-to-end solution to streamline this process and ensure the security of your supply chain.
We begin by classifying your vendors based on risk levels, allowing us to create custom security questionnaires tailored to your specific requirements.
Our baseline questionnaires are designed in alignment with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ensuring a standardised approach. Where your organisation has other legal, regulatory, or compliance requirements, our team will develop content to assess your third parties against these and ensure your supply chain requirements are being met.
Once vendors complete the questionnaires, we evaluate the responses for compliance with your security standards. Our experts develop reports detailing assessment results and provide recommendations to vendors for necessary security uplifts, ensuring they meet your expectations.
Sentaris offers ongoing management through periodic or annual assessments and reviews. Ongoing monitoring of third parties ensures that your supply chain remains secure and your vendors continue to uphold the necessary security measures.
Supply chain risk management helps your business stay resilient in the face of potential disruptions. With our support, you can confidently mitigate risks, streamline vendor management and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.
