From fragmented information to one controlled work status
What this product helps you achieve
Supplier information, security requirements, evidence, vulnerabilities, incidents and decisions are often spread across teams and files.
A connected working system for traceable assessment, documentation, monitoring and management decisions.
Structured supplier record
Connect scope, criticality, due diligence, evidence, measures and decisions.
Operational work tools
Use editable templates and the SCMS Cockpit for the actual working process.
Evidence and lifecycle control
Keep changes, vulnerabilities, incidents, reviews and approval status visible.
Efficient implementation
Structured in-house work instead of building everything from scratch
Criticality, due diligence, security requirements, contracts, SBOM/VEX, incidents, monitoring and evidence are already connected in one working framework. This reduces the need to design a supplier-cybersecurity work system from scratch.
Reduce setup work
Prepared processes, work tools and evidence structures help reduce internal research and setup effort.
Do more with your own teams
Existing specialist knowledge can be transferred directly into a structured working process inside the organisation.
Use external expertise selectively
Legal, technical or other specialist questions remain with the appropriate experts. External support can be focused on the points that require individual assessment or specialist decisions.
