Does your organization provide regular risk reporting to leadership regarding the authenticity and integrity of acquired components?
Explanation
Component integrity reporting is the subject: whether you verify the authenticity of acquired hardware, software, and services and report those findings up to leadership. Supply chain attacks often target organizations through compromised components, making verification and leadership awareness critical security controls.
Evidence could include quarterly or monthly reports to leadership that document component verification activities, findings from integrity checks, summaries of vendor security assessments, or dashboards showing supply chain risk metrics with authenticity verification results.
Implementation Example
Periodically provide risk reporting to leaders about how acquired components are proven to be untampered and authentic
