Supply Chain

Clients

Strong third-party risk frameworks are critical to organisational resilience. They enable businesses to identify risks, maintain continuity, and ensure suppliers can withstand outages or prolonged disruptions.

We help you to assess and understand your third-party frameworks by identifying risks, uncovering opportunities to strengthen controls, and reviewing the evidence from suppliers to demonstrate operational excellence. We support the evaluation of how suppliers would respond to unexpected outages or long-term disruptions.

At Beyond Blue, our approach often includes developing evidence-based questions for third parties to help them embed resilience into their daily operations. 

This may include seeking evidence to show some of the following:
1
What controls protect your business and clients?
2
What does your risk management framework entail?
3
Have there been any risk or breach events in the past 12 months?
4
How is data protected at rest and in transit?
5
Who has access to sensitive information, and how is access controlled?
6
How do you identify vulnerabilities, patch security gaps, and conduct penetration testing?
7
What are your backup and restore processes?
8
What severe-but-plausible scenario testing do you perform, and how often?
9
Who are your critical suppliers, and how do you manage dependencies or concentration risks?

If these questions resonate with your organisation, contact us to learn how we've helped others address similar challenges.
