Hub overview

Collective resilience for a connected sector.

Transportation, warehousing and cold-chain platforms connect every part of food supply. The hub focuses on continuity across highly integrated physical and digital operations.

What we do in the hub

  1. Threat briefings

    Timely, food-sector context on emerging threats and defensive priorities.

  2. Expert roundtables

    Small, trusted conversations between operators, practitioners and partners.

  3. Resilience exercises

    Scenario-led sessions for testing decisions before a real incident.

  4. Working groups

    Focused collaboration on common controls, dependencies and good practice.

  5. Executive exchanges

    Peer discussions designed for boards and operational leadership.

  6. Research & playbooks

    Useful outputs shaped by the people responsible for food operations.

The operational reality

Why Food Logistics needs cyber resilience

Digital systems now sit inside the processes that keep products safe, production moving and customers supplied.

  • Warehouse automation attacks

    Compromised conveyors, robotics or management systems can stop fulfilment at scale.

  • Fleet and route compromise

    Connected vehicles and transport systems expose location and delivery operations.

  • Third-party concentration

    One logistics incident can cascade across many producers, retailers and customers.

Sector cyber compliance

From requirements to operational confidence.

The frameworks organisations build on, and the rules worth knowing where they operate.

Frameworks for every hub

  • Global

    NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

    A free framework, voluntary for most organisations, for governing, identifying and reducing cyber risk. Version 2.0 (February 2024) added a sixth function, Govern.

    Why it matters

    Creates a common resilience language across leadership, IT and operations.

  • Global

    ISO/IEC 27001

    The international standard for an information security management system. Organisations can be certified against it by an accredited certification body.

    Why it matters

    Demonstrates a repeatable, independently auditable security programme.

  • Global

    ISA/IEC 62443

    A series of standards for securing industrial automation and control systems — the operational technology that runs plants, farms and warehouses.

    Why it matters

    Helps secure connected production equipment without compromising availability.

Rules to know, by region

  • United States

    FDA's Sanitary Transportation rule

    Shippers, loaders, carriers and receivers moving food by road or rail in the US must keep it safe — including temperature control where needed — with written procedures and records.

    Why it matters

    Temperature telemetry and cold-chain records are part of compliance, so lost or tampered data is a food-safety problem as well as an IT one.

  • European Union

    NIS2 Directive

    The EU's cybersecurity directive, applied through each country's own law, covers food businesses engaged in wholesale distribution and industrial production and processing — generally medium-sized and large ones.

    Why it matters

    Check how your country applies it: food wholesale distribution can be in scope, while pure transport and storage services generally are not.

  • Australia

    Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (SOCI)

    Australia's critical-infrastructure law lists food and grocery as a critical sector; the major supermarket and grocery-wholesale networks must register, report cyber incidents and maintain a risk-management programme.

    Why it matters

    Large freight operators moving groceries for those networks can themselves be critical infrastructure under the transport sector.

A starting point, not legal advice — which rules apply depends on where and how your organisation operates.
