Mitigating Operational Disruptions and Data Breaches
In the construction industry, a supplier’s vulnerability to cyber threats poses a significant risk to construction projects. A cyber incident can disrupt operations, cause the delivery of a product to be missed, delay project timelines, and compromise the security of sensitive design works or personal data. By monitoring supplier cyber security practices using Azanzi TPRM, construction companies can identify potential vulnerabilities and take proactive measures to mitigate risks. This includes implementing robust security measures, conducting regular audits, and ensuring suppliers adhere to industry best practices.
With Azanzi TPRM, our customers can prioritise the suppliers that can have the largest impact should they have a breach, and use this information to gain assurances from their supply chain.
Understanding the Risk Landscape
The construction industry often relies on a complex web of suppliers and subcontractors, increasing the cyber security risk landscape. When suppliers outsource to other sub-contractors, companies may unknowingly expose themselves to additional vulnerabilities – when you outsource work, you insource risk. Therefore, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the supply chain and identify potential weak points. Regularly reviewing suppliers and their practices helps assess their risk footprint, enabling construction firms to make informed decisions and mitigate potential threats effectively.
