Why does ISO 27001 matter for supply chain security?

Cyberattacks rarely impact a single company. Instead, the shockwaves are felt through the chain, impacting suppliers, technology providers, and other third parties. Recent high-profile information security incidents have highlighted this, with several affecting everything from online orders to the availability of products in stores. For Linda Porter, Principal Assessor, Information Security Management Systems at NQA, a Kiwa company, these incidents demonstrate why organizations are paying closer attention to how they manage their suppliers, and how ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security can help.
