Secure Every Link in Your Supply Chain!

Identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and ensure robust protection across your entire supply chain with our expert security review services.

End-to-End Supply Chain Security

At COE Security, our Supply Chain Security Review (SCSR) service helps organizations assess and manage risks across their supply chain by ensuring that every third-party vendor, service provider, and partner meets the highest security standards. With the increasing complexity and interconnectivity of global supply chains, businesses face greater risks from cyberattacks that target their external relationships. Our SCSR service provides a comprehensive analysis of your supply chain, identifying vulnerabilities and potential threats from external entities that could compromise the security of your organization.

We help organizations develop a risk-aware approach to supply chain management by evaluating the security posture of your vendors, ensuring that all parties in the supply chain meet the necessary security and compliance standards. Our service enables you to identify weak links, implement risk mitigation strategies, and establish a secure and resilient supply chain that safeguards against third-party risks.

COE Security’s Supply Chain Security Review provides insights to help you assess risks, ensure compliance, and make informed decisions.

Five areas of Supply Chain Security Review Solutions

Compliance as a Service

Supply chain security is increasingly intertwined with regulatory compliance, as organizations face heightened scrutiny from governments and industry regulators. Compliance as a Service ensures that your supply chain meets the necessary compliance standards, such as GDPR, CMMC, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. Our team performs thorough assessments of your supply chain processes, identifying potential gaps in security controls that could expose sensitive data or lead to compliance violations. We provide tailored recommendations and implement solutions to ensure that your supply chain adheres to relevant security and privacy regulations. This service helps protect your business from legal, financial, and reputational risks while fostering a secure environment for your partners.

Cyber Insurance Audit

A crucial aspect of supply chain security is ensuring that your organization and its partners are properly covered in the event of a cyber incident. Our Cyber Insurance Audit evaluates your existing cyber insurance policies, helping you assess the adequacy of coverage related to supply chain disruptions, data breaches, and other cyber risks. We perform a detailed review of your cyber risk management practices, identifying gaps in your coverage or areas that may expose you to financial loss. By ensuring that your insurance coverage aligns with the evolving cyber threat landscape, we help mitigate the financial impact of supply chain-related incidents and enhance your organization’s resilience.

Penetration Testing as a Service

The security of your supply chain is only as strong as its weakest link, which can often be traced to external vendors or partners. Penetration Testing as a Service simulates real-world attacks on your supply chain systems and third-party connections to uncover vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Our team conducts thorough testing on your supply chain network, including vendor portals, procurement systems, and communication channels. We identify exploitable vulnerabilities, security misconfigurations, and other risks, providing actionable recommendations to remediate them. By proactively addressing these vulnerabilities, we help you strengthen your supply chain’s security and prevent potential data breaches or disruptions.

Merger & Acquisition Security Consulting

When acquiring or merging with another company, the security of their supply chain is a critical factor in assessing potential risks. Merger & Acquisition Security Consulting provides a detailed security evaluation of the target company’s supply chain practices, identifying potential vulnerabilities or gaps that could pose a risk to your organization. We conduct thorough due diligence, assessing third-party vendor risk management, data protection protocols, and compliance adherence. By ensuring that the acquired company has a robust supply chain security posture, we help mitigate the risk of inheriting security flaws, data breaches, or non-compliance, which could have a significant impact on your operations.

Security Program Development

A comprehensive Security Program Development for your supply chain ensures that security is not an afterthought but an integral part of your entire business operation. We assist in creating and implementing a security program specifically designed to manage risks across your entire supply chain. Our approach involves developing policies and procedures that address vendor management, data protection, incident response, and supply chain continuity. By implementing a holistic security framework, we ensure that your supply chain is continuously monitored for emerging threats, compliance requirements, and best practices. This proactive security program enables you to manage risks efficiently and maintain the integrity of your entire supply chain.
