Episode 67 — Manage Supply Chain Risk Objectives Across Vendors, Suppliers, and Partners
This episode teaches how to manage supply chain risk objectives across vendors, suppliers, and partners, because ISSMP scenarios often test whether you can extend governance beyond your perimeter and maintain accountability when dependencies multiply. You will learn how to define supply chain objectives tied to confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resiliency, then translate those objectives into requirements for vendor onboarding, contracting, operational monitoring, and incident coordination. Scenarios include critical SaaS providers handling regulated data, outsourced operations with privileged access, and upstream suppliers whose disruptions can stop business services, showing how to identify where assurance must be strongest. Best practices include tiering vendors by criticality, defining evidence expectations, establishing escalation and notification requirements, and ensuring objectives map to enterprise risk appetite.
