INTRODUCTION
Global supply chains are an integral part of our world. Leveraging goods and services from across a global marketplace brings tremendous efficiencies to private sector entities, academic institutions, state and local governments, and federal departments and agencies. However, these same efficiencies also expose organizations to the risks from the global supply chain. The increased reliance on goods and services sourced from the global supply chain—and delivered through a digital infrastructure—allows an adversary to surveil, deny, disrupt, or otherwise degrade the critical control systems, services, and products that we depend on every day.
Security-focused supply chain risk management (SCRM) programs provide an organization with an enhanced view of its own risk exposure.
Supply chain threats posed by sophisticated adversaries are often difficult to detect, which may expose organizations to unforeseen risks. Incorporating security principles—such as acquisition, cyber, and enterprise security— will provide additional information that an
organization can use to better understand its overall risk posture. Further, this security-focused approach will assist organizations in tailoring mitigations to reduce supply chain risks.
This resource guide highlights SCRM policies, procedures, and best practices that can be integrated into an organization’s overall risk
management framework.
