Supply-Chain Security Research: Food & Agriculture

Download report

New research into third-party and supplier risk across the food and agriculture supply chain.

Executive summary

The food supply chain is a dense web of suppliers, logistics partners and technology vendors, and this research maps the risk that flows along it.

Surveying member organisations and analysing reported incidents, it finds that a significant share of breaches originated with a trusted third party rather than the victim organisation itself.

The research closes with a supplier-governance model: inventory, least privilege, periodic review, and contractual expectations that make security a condition of doing business.
