3 Steps to Gaining Clarity on Your Supply Chain | Cyber Security & Third-Party Risk Management

You can’t protect what you don’t understand — and your supply chain is often the biggest unknown in your business. Most organisations underestimate how much risk sits outside their walls — in vendors, suppliers, and service providers who handle sensitive data or critical systems. In this video, I’ll share three practical steps to gain clarity on your supply chain so you can strengthen your cyber security posture and manage third-party risk effectively.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

1. Understand Everything You Own – Get a complete inventory of vendors, request invoices, review your CMDB. Visibility comes before control.

2. Tier Your Vendors – Assess suppliers based on the data they hold, business criticality, and risk exposure.

3. Monitor Continuously – Set reminders for reassessments, maintain breach contacts, and add contractual clauses for mandatory incident reporting.

⚠️ Common Challenges:

* Time-consuming manual tracking

* Lack of breach visibility

* Shadow IT and unapproved supplier use

👥 Who This Video Is For:

* Cyber Security & Risk Leaders

* GRC and Compliance Professionals

* Procurement and Vendor Management Teams

* Business Owners handling sensitive data

✨ Key Takeaway:Supply chain security isn’t about control — it’s about clarity. The more visibility you have, the stronger and more resilient your organisation becomes.
