Supply chain

The supply chain poses risks if a vendor or partner is compromised

What is the supply chain?

In cybersecurity, the supply chain refers to all external parties—vendors, partners, subcontractors, and digital service providers—that a business relies on. A breach in any of them can have serious consequences for the entire organization.

Think of the supply chain as a chain made of metal links: if one link is weak or broken, the entire chain can fail. It’s no longer a secure anchor—and the consequences can ripple outward through the system.

Example

A software vendor is breached, and malicious code is pushed through a regular update. The result: a large-scale supply chain attack affecting thousands of customers.

Sicra and the supply chain

Sicra helps organizations assess and protect their digital supply chain by applying risk management, strategic guidance, security best practices, and frameworks like ISO27001 and NIS2.
