Overview

Supply chain management (SCM) is an important part of the businesses writing the biggest success stories and is one of the topmost reasons behind their success. Mainly this exponential growth due to supply chain efficiency relates to customer services, reducing operational costs and improving financial positions. 

With the technological support, supply chains are becoming more complex due to global operations. To stay competitive, businesses are outsourcing multiple business elements to produce their products at affordable prices.

Digital business is disrupting business everywhere. As the inter-linking of vendors, partners and suppliers with each other’s network grows, the increased access and integration within host organisations gives birth to cyber security concerns. These challenges are unique to the generic cyber security issues due to the access and integration within multiple environments.

Supply Chain Security Review Methodology

Communication & Debrief

We take customer communication as seriously as reporting or assessment execution. We engage with customers during all stages, and ensure that customer contacts are up to date in the language they understand. Post engagement, a free debrief is conducted to help the customers understand the weaknesses and prepare a mitigation plan.

Reporting

The assessment-execution phase is followed by the analysis & reporting. Defendza performs analysis on the testing output, evaluates the risk impact and likelihood of exploitation in realistic scenarios before providing action plans to remediate the identified risks. All our reports address business as well as the technical audience with supporting raw data, including mitigation measures at strategic and tactical levels. 

Assess

  • Assess high-value digital assets that include internal (corporate and production) and external  environments (exposed to the internet) to assess whether these are appropriate, below expectations or follow the defense-in-depth approach.
  • Evaluate security controls around communications and data exchange with third party, outsourced, or other business partnerships.
  • Identify any previous breaches, malware/cyber incident response processes to assess the attack preparedness of business.

Evaluate

Evaluate the current security initiatives (cybersecurity programs) around people, processes, and technology areas. 

Scope and Identify

  • Scoping considerations to ensure comprehensive review.
  • Identification of digital assets that should be part of the scope.

  • Evaluate the importance of these assets to the target business.
