Back to Cyber-security

The fastest-growing route into a well-defended organisation is through a weaker one it trusts. Strong internal controls do not contain this risk, because the breach arrives through legitimate, authorised access.

This report sets out the supply-chain framework in your chosen jurisdiction and industry: the third-party security and oversight duties imposed by NIS2 and DORA, and the data-protection rule that leaves the controller answerable for a processor's breach.

It documents the campaigns that define the exposure, file-transfer and remote-management compromises reaching thousands of organisations from a single vulnerability, with victims bearing notification and litigation costs for a breach they did not cause.

It covers the programme that works, tiering vendors by privileged access, verifying assurances rather than accepting attestations, and contracting for prompt notification, and when to engage counsel and forensic support as a vendor discloses.
