Trustworthy Suppliers Framework Forum

Please join us as we introduce a Trustworthy Supplier Framework, a toolbox developed to assist in understanding component protection options and inform better buying decisions as part of supply chain risk management. Although this effort began in support of the Department of Defense, the Institute for Defense Analyses is now seeking to engage a broader set of stakeholders in industry, government and academia to provide input and shape the Framework's contents to best address supply chain risk in commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products. The Trustworthy Supplier Framework maps various existing standards and practices to the controls provided in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-161, Supply Chain Risk Management Practices for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, and supports the understanding and utilization of various standards and practices in managing supply chain risks.
