Enhancing Supply Chain Security

SecurityScorecard MAX focuses on identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks across vendor networks. KPMG in Canada will leverage its expertise to deliver real-time threat monitoring, incident response, and risk management solutions.

Imraan Bashir, Partner & National Public Sector Cyber Leader at KPMG in Canada, said the partnership enhances efficiency in mitigating cybersecurity threats. By combining KPMG’s public sector expertise with SecurityScorecard’s SCDR technology, the firms aim to improve supply chain security. “This agreement represents a step in strengthening supply chain security,” said Bashir.

Features of SecurityScorecard MAX

SecurityScorecard MAX provides:

  • Proactive Threat Detection – Identifies vulnerabilities across the supplier ecosystem.
  • Continuous Monitoring – Ensures ongoing visibility into cybersecurity risks.
  • Rapid Incident Response – Reduces resolution time for security breaches.
  • Vendor Collaboration – Streamlines communication between organizations and suppliers.

President of SecurityScorecard, Sachin Bansal said, “We are pleased to have KPMG join our program. MAX helps customers seamlessly ‘arrive at the airport,’ but we need ‘planes’ to transport customers globally. KPMG has the experience to help us bring actionability and remediation for critical sectors.”

Addressing Supply Chain Cyber Risks

Supply chain cyberattacks have increased, with attackers exploiting weak vendor security. SecurityScorecard MAX aims to strengthen cybersecurity resilience by reducing third-party breaches by up to 75% and cutting incident resolution time by 90%.

In the wake of the Harrods hack and cyberattacks impacting other retailers, the alarming state of UK cybersecurity will be revealed in 2024. From cyberattacks hitting major UK retailers like Co-op and Harrods to small businesses struggling without protection, the message is clear—cybercrime is a national threat.

New research by Pen Underwriting reveals that while 90% of UK and Irish businesses feel secure, only 47% have dedicated cyber insurance. Even more shocking—only 18% of businesses earning under £1 million are covered. The cost isn’t just financial—real people suffer, like the couple who lost their wedding cake due to a ransomware attack.

Watch now to understand:

Why UK businesses are dangerously unprepared

How cyberattacks are more common than fires or theft

The key role of employee training, data backups, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)
