Identity and access management
| SCSEC03: How do you manage and control access to supply chain systems and data for partners, vendors, and third parties? |
|---|
Managing access for partners, vendors, and third parties is critical for supply chain security as these external entities often require legitimate access to sensitive systems but represent significant potential threat vectors if not properly controlled. Implementing robust identity management, least privilege principles, and continuous monitoring for third-party access helps prevent unauthorized data exposure and supply chain infiltration. Effective third-party access management balances operational efficiency with security requirements, enabling necessary collaboration while protecting critical supply chain assets and maintaining regulatory compliance.
| SCSEC04: How do you implement least privilege access and separation of duties for supply chain operations? |
|---|
Implementing least privilege access and separation of duties is fundamental to supply chain security as it minimizes the risk of unauthorized actions, fraud, and insider threats by making sure individuals have only the permissions necessary for their specific roles.
