Vendor Onboarding
Vendors and subprocessors are evaluated before they are given access to systems or information.
- Pre-onboarding security evaluation
- Data access scope defined in advance
- Contractual security expectations
- Documented approval decision
Security & Compliance
Supply Chain Risk Management
Government programs inherit the risk of every component and vendor beneath them. We manage that inheritance deliberately, from third-party services down to individual software dependencies.
C-SCRM
Managing third-party and software supply chain risk
Our approach is informed by NIST SP 800-161 cyber supply chain risk management concepts, scaled to a small business.
Vendor Reviews
Approved vendors are reassessed periodically and when their role or data access materially changes.
- Recurring reassessment cadence
- Review triggered by scope change
- Public incident and advisory monitoring
- Offboarding and access removal
Critical Supplier Identification
Suppliers whose failure would materially affect delivery or availability are identified and tracked with additional attention.
- Criticality tiering
- Concentration risk awareness
- Continuity expectations for critical suppliers
- Alternate path consideration
Software Provenance
Build inputs are sourced from trusted registries, pinned, and reviewed before adoption for critical paths.
- Trusted source verification
- Version pinning and lockfiles
- Maintenance and support signals reviewed
- License and origin review
Third-Party Risk
Third-party risk is treated as organizational risk and recorded in the same register as internal risk.
- Third-party risks in the central register
- Owner assigned per risk
- Impact assessed against customer commitments
- Escalation for unacceptable residual risk
Dependency Management
Dependencies are inventoried, monitored for advisories, and updated on a risk-prioritized schedule.
- Dependency inventory maintained
- Advisory monitoring
- Risk-based remediation timelines
- Removal of unused dependencies
Patch Verification
Updates are validated in a non-production path before promotion, and emergency patches follow an expedited but documented route.
- Pre-promotion validation
- Expedited path for critical advisories
- Rollback capability
- Post-patch verification
Secure Procurement
Security requirements are stated during procurement rather than negotiated after selection, consistent with NIST SP 800-161 concepts.
- Security requirements stated pre-award
- Flow-down expectations for subcontractors
- Evidence requested proportionate to risk
- Documented acceptance of residual risk
