SUPPLY CHAIN & THIRD-PARTY RISK
Your security is only as strong as the weakest link in your supply chain. We help you find it before someone else does.
The majority of significant security incidents now involve a third party – a supplier, a software vendor, a cloud provider, or a professional services firm with access to your systems. Attackers target the organisations around you precisely because they are less well defended.
Your clients are asking you the same questions about your suppliers that your insurers and regulators are. Without a managed third-party risk programme, you cannot answer them confidently.
Structured security assessments of your critical suppliers – identifying risk, driving remediation, and giving you documented assurance.
A repeatable, managed programme for ongoing supplier oversight – tiered by criticality, with clear escalation paths and board-level reporting.
Pre-acquisition security assessment of targets – identifying hidden liabilities before they become your problem post-close.
Defining and embedding minimum security standards into supplier contracts – so your obligations flow down the chain and are enforceable.
Helping you respond credibly and accurately to security due diligence questionnaires from clients, insurers, and regulators.
Meeting the specific supply chain security obligations under NIS2 and DORA – for regulated entities and the suppliers that serve them.
A conversation with Alvearium Associates costs nothing. Discovering a critical supplier vulnerability after a breach costs considerably more.
