Trust Beyond Borders: Building Resilient and Transparent Supply Chains

Complex digital supply chains underpin modern government—but third-party risk is now a key cyber threat vector. With SOCI legislation, data sovereignty rules and Zero Trust expectations tightening, this session will explore how to secure trust at every tier of your supplier ecosystem.

Key topics include:

• The importance of supply chain trust in national infrastructure resilience
• Security and compliance in third-party risk management (SOCI, IRAP)
• Using the Unity of Trust model to govern data, access and accountability
• Examples of agencies improving transparency and control in procurement

Designed for ICT strategists, procurement leaders, and compliance professionals, this session offers actionable guidance for building defensible and trusted ecosystems.
