Has your organization integrated cybersecurity supply chain risk management into your continuous improvement processes?
Explanation
Supply chain risk in continuous improvement is the focus: whether you routinely identify, evaluate, and mitigate threats from vendors and suppliers as part of your improvement cycles. Effective integration means supply chain risks are considered during procurement, vendor selection, contract negotiations, and ongoing vendor management activities, with established processes for regular reassessment and improvement.
Evidence demonstrating compliance could include documented supply chain risk management procedures that are linked to your continuous improvement framework, meeting minutes showing regular review of supply chain security risks, or improvement action plans that address identified supply chain vulnerabilities.
