Supply chain security centres on the identification, assessment, and management of risk from human sources whose exploitation of the supply chain result from malicious intent. Human sources that create security risks to the supply chain can include:

opportunistic criminals

unintentional and malicious insiders

organised criminal entities

transnational criminal groups

issue-motivated groups.

The risks generated from such sources can occur anywhere in an entity’s supply chain including:  

exporters operations

customs brokerage

freight forwarding operations

shipping agents

third party logistics

local warehousing

onforwarding agents.

 

Managing supply chain security risk requires a security risk assessment to assess the intentions and capabilities of human-based threats as they relate to an organisation’s supply chain.

Each organisation and each supply chain are different, therefore, the relevance of threats to those organisations and supply chains will differ.

We can help you to address the requirements of the SOCI Risk Management Program Rules that firmly fall in the domain of security risk management.
